Alan R The focus on the journalist rather than the crime was mildly interesting; however, the film was ruined by the lighting director who must have been a five year old equipped with two five watt lightbulbs and a torch. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Stephen D Rather tedious remake with stilted acting and cliched script - pioneering female journalist breaks serial killer story against stereotyped male journalists and indifferent police. Knightly badly miscast and unconvincing. It even has its absurd moments. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/25 Full Review Tim M A by-the-numbers crime thriller, Boston Strangler does a respectable job of steeping the viewer in one of America's most notorious serial killings. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/04/25 Full Review Leah K This movie was excellent. Great acting, intriguing true crime story, smart dialogue. I am shocked that the reviews aren't higher! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review Alex H Good perfomance from Keira Knightly. Directing and story is mildly suspenseful. It was decent, nothing to rave over or breaking new ground. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Alec B Boston Strangler offers an intriguing retelling of the notorious murders that shook 1960s Boston, with compelling performances from Keira Knightley and Carrie Coon. While it could have been more suspenseful and tense, it did capture the tension and societal constraints of the era, focusing on two female journalists who broke the story in a male-dominated press era. The pacing does build some suspense, though it lingers too long on procedural details, detracting from the possibility of excitement.
