Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
Emphasizes a very human sense of loneliness in Jeff, but it doesn't explore the sadistic element of domination with which his desire for companionship was entwined.

Rating: 3/5 --
The whole assembly kit of Jeffrey Dahmer's dysfunction is laid out, and we can easily see how it all clicks together. The film might have risked more empathy for him, if that weren't the one thing he so signally lacked himself.

Rating: 4/5 --
Although My Friend Dahmer does not resolve the impossible question of 'nature vs nurture', it approaches it with a humanity that is too often missing from such stories.

Rating: 4.5/5 --
My Friend Dahmer presents not only an examination of Dahmer himself, it gets into the ethics of Backderf's friendship with the soon-to-be cannibal murderer.

Rating: 4/5 --
Ross Lynch is eerily good as Dahmer, like a very young Philip Seymour Hoffman - stolidly silent, heavy-footed, incubating his resentments.

Guardian
It is only our foreknowledge of what Jeffrey will become that allows us to register all the early warning signs, right down to Joyce's edict.., heavily ironised for the viewer by the weight of future history: "New house rule: we eat our mistakes."

Rating: 4/5 --
There's a hint of retrospective guilt here and you could question Backderf's morals, and by extension those of Meyers, for profiting from telling a murderer's origin story.

Jeff (Ross Lynch) is an awkward teenager struggling to make it through high school with a family life in ruins. His bizarre behavior at school attracts unexpected friends, a group of band-nerds who form The Dahmer Fan Club, headed by Derf Backderf (Alex Wolff). But as they near graduation, Jeff's depravity continues to take hold, and he spirals further out of control.
