In 1992, Jeffrey Dahmer was sentenced to sixteen life sentences. As a serial killer, necrophile and cannibal, he has become infamous as one of the worst criminals in the United States. But how did it happen? My Friend Dahmer is based on the critically acclaimed graphic novel with the same title, by Dahmer’s classmate Derf Backderf. This is the story of how a shy teenager, desperate to fit in, could be turned into a monstrous killer. The film has received good reviews in international media, including by Peter Travers on Rolling Stone, who rates the movie 4 out of 5 and writes that it's "a warped wonder of a movie that takes twisted to areas few have investigated.”
