Review of Boston Strangler (2023) by Marshall Shaffer for The Playlist — 16 Mar 2023
Boston Strangler steps right up to the line of the hokiest girlboss tropes and narrowly avoids crossing into a cringeworthy injection of contemporary feminism into a historical narrative. Rather than blaring its priorities throughout, Ruskin’s film gradually reveals the biases suppressing the idea that women’s stories matter.
It’s just enough of a twist on an otherwise imitative, iterative story to hold interest.
