Made worse by comparison to films like Spotlight.
that we've seen this all before. The story of the Boston Strangler isn't wholly unknown, though it isn't ubiquitous in the way, say, Ted Bundy is.

In's case, the victims are elderly women living alone — the pinnacle of invisibility until a journalist named Loretta McLaughlin sees a pattern.Record American and there she shall stay! Eventually she convinces her boss to take a chance on her, but it is only with the help of veteran investigative reporter Jean Cole that the story really gets its legs.And this is where the film seems to stop being about investigative journalism and switches into being a dedicated crime drama.
It is a shame that the two leads are stuck in such a two-dimensional movie; a better film might have made more of the idea of what it means to be invisible as a woman and the various ways women are victimised throughout their lives, even in death.The case of the Boston Strangler is one still shrouded in mystery, but the movie tries to make drama out of supposition, leaving even those who are familiar with the case confused.
The sole visual interest comes in the way the crimes themselves are filmed, which is poignant and haunting, eschewing the usual gratuitousness of visual violence against women on screen and opting for the far more intimate sounds of their murders instead. Not to say we never see any violence against women, but it isn't used as a cheap way to elicit an emotional response.know, the film alters.
