The film isn’t expanding as fast as one would expect, given its theater average, but this could be because the studio doesn’t think it has mainstream appeal. Call Me by Your Name was the next best film with an average of $31,761 in nine theaters. There was another Oscar contender on top of the theater average chart this weekend, as I, Tonya earned an average of $66,039 in four theaters.

Just voices” - the New Jersey-based, RockNRoll Chorus, celebrated a milestone this summer, with a special 10th Anniversary U.S. Gail Worley finds out why it took so long. And it makes you wonder if anything could have changed what he became.Īfter 30 years in the music industry, producer, songwriter and musician Larry Dvoskin has released a set of his own music. And that makes you wonder about the weird kid in your high school, or your kid’s school. You know how his story ends, and now you have an idea of how it started. You have a sense of dread and impending doom, up until Jeffrey meets a hitchhiker shortly after graduation but right before the credits roll. It plays out as a horror movie, without any killing. But the star making performance comes from Ross Lynch, a former Disney Channel actor, taking a dark turn as the disturbed Dahmer. Marc Meyers, who adapted the script and directed, gets excellent performances from everyone, especially the other teens inhabiting Dahmer’s orbit at the high school. Heche and Roberts give inspired turns as the troubled parents. Period pieces aren’t easy, especially on a small budget, but I never doubted that we were in the Midwest in 1977-78. Technically, this is a very well made film. But there is only so much a teenage boy can do when his friend doesn’t open up, especially in the late 70’s. Near the end of the school year, some of his “friends” begin to wonder if they are using him, if the jokes at his expense are too much, and if he might be in trouble. He deals with these issues at first by turning to alcohol and drugs. He is confused by his sexuality, abandoning an earlier friend who is constantly bullied for seeming gay. He is fascinated with dead animals, dissolving their corpses in acid in his backyard. Couple this with a troubled home life – a mother (Anne Heche) recently released from a mental hospital and a father (Dallas Robert) struggling at work and at home – and you get a crucible where the monster is formed. After he gains attention by “spazzing out” in school, Derf and a few other boys begin to use him as a mascot, using him to get attention and for cheap laughs, but never really connecting with him. And yet, after several biopics that sensationalize the already sensational murders committed by Jeffrey Dahmer, My Friend Dahmer takes us back to the high school days, before any of that happened, to try to get a glimpse of who he used to be and what happened to turn him into who he became.īased on the graphic novel of the same name by James “Derf” Backderf, the film chronicles the socially awkward Dahmer finding friends, of a sort. It is an odd little independent film that attempts to garner sympathy for one of the most famous monsters in modern America. ![]() ![]() My Friend Dahmer directed by Marc Meyers starring Ross Lynch, Anne Heche Ibid Filmworks / Aperture Entertainment
