3.5/5
"Renner carries much of the film with a creepy and dead-on performance."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

"Director David Jacobson gives Dahmer a consideration that the murderer never game his victims."  Nitrate Online  Dan Lybarger

C+
"It's not that "Dahmer" was a bad film, which it certainly wasn't, but it was a pointless one that was more unsettling than informative or penetrating."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

B+
"A subtly creepy, gently disturbing portrait of a genuinely disturbed man...The point of the exercise might not be apparent, but its artistry certainly is."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/4
"Since Dahmer resorts to standard slasher flick thrills when it should be most in the mind of the killer, it misses a major opportunity to be truly revelatory about his psyche."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

2.5/5
"Renner?s face is chillingly unemotive, yet he communicates a great deal in his performance. See it for his performance if nothing else."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

2.5/5
"Renner's performance as Dahmer is unimpeachable, fascinating without being charismatic."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

1.5/4
"Does what should seem impossible: it makes serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer boring."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

4/5
"Worth a look, if only for Renner's complex performance."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

C-
"A story which fails to rise above its disgusting source material."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

2/4
"A little too boring, when you think about the subject."  sbs.is  Stefan Birgir Stefansson

2.5/4
"In Dahmer's pillow game the atrocity is all about existential tragedy."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw

3.5/4
"A chilling movie without oppressive gore."  Oscar Guy  Wesley Lovell
