One thing I must criticize is the use of flashbacks. There's a long history of guys slipping roofies into women's drinks to get them in the sack, so Dahmer was no different from any horny heterosexual guy, only he took it many steps further. It's interesting to find out this can happen among homosexuals as well. But his perversions took him so far that he'd walk into a gay bar and slip roofies into guys' drinks (which is shown in an extended montage), take them to the back and have sex with them as they're helpless and passed out. And he wasn't brilliantly sociable, so he didn't have an easy time making friends or getting guys to go out with him, or have sex with him for that matter. He felt his homosexuality served as a handicap in his society.

I can't say I relate to him that much, other than being lonely and an only child, but that didn't stop me from seeing how he was as a human being. I learned a lot about Dahmer that I never knew previously. There's no use showing us what we already know.

And the movie doesn't try to shock us with gory details of these grisly occurrences, because that's not its intention. We don't what drove Dahmer to madness, and what led up to the subsequent rapes, murders and eventual cannibalism. We all know about the crimes that Dahmer committed.

But this movie was not made to portray him as a hero, nor a villain. Like everybody, I believe that what Jeffrey Dahmer did was wrong, and I feel sorry for all the families who lost sons and other relatives due to him. Ripley" (a great film) focusing on a psychopath, but that's because Tom Ripley is a fictional character. There weren't too many complaints about "The Talented Mr. Films like this always have the immediate handicap of focusing not only on an evil, psychotic main character, but focusing on an evil, psychotic main character who we all know. This is a very well-made film that was put together on a very low budget. People seem really disgusted by the film, but the only thing that disgusts me are the negative reviews.
