Review of Dahmer (2002) by Jennifer C — 06 Jan 2016
I love this movie!!! Jeremy Renner was so unbelievably perfect as Dahmer in such a gorgeous understated yet beautiful complex performance. He truly is fantastic! I love the fact that David Jacobson didn't turn this into a gore movie just full of blood and guts and cannibalism.
He actually wanted to look at what Jeff was like as a person and yes, details such as names and certain exact situations are changed but the true essence remains. The style of this film is lush and I love that it's not beginning to end.
It's more of a reflection. And in this reflection it ends in such a perfect way, still young with the dire reality still to unfold. And special note goes out to the end theme song, Blue Theme by Siren Music Productions.
Guh yuh!!!!!!! One of my favourite movie themes ever. They did such an amazing job on the whole score, again so understated. This film obviously isn't for all but it is for me...I've easily seen it more than pretty much any other movie ever and to be honest, it just added to my already hugely obsessive love for Jeffrey Dahmer.
