About
You’ll like it if you want a true-crime story filtered through doubt and devotion rather than gore, and if you’re drawn to performances; Not for you if you need graphic violence or a more direct, case-focused serial-killer account like Conversations with a Killer: The John Wayne Gacy Tapes or True Story.
Pros: compelling girlfriend perspective; Strong lead performances; Intriguing, tense mood | Cons: limited crime detail; Pacing feels uneven; Confusing tonal shifts
