Dahmer

“The mind is a place of its own.”

Jeffrey Dahmer (Jeremy Renner) was convicted in Milwaukee on February 15, 1992, of fifteen counts of murder and sentenced to 937 years in prison. David Jacobson's film builds on events from his life, with Lionel Dahmer (Bruce Davison) as the father who stands closest to him. Under the plain facts sits a question the film leaves to the viewer: how a person who passes among others unnoticed can be so far from them.
