Nathan A The true story of how a serial killer effects Ipswich England. The filmmaker took sexual quotes and used it and repetitive and musical ways did you pick the fears and fascination the locals had. It's very well done, fascinating to watch. The songs are very good. But ultimately, it trivializes a horrible subject that is cause a lot of pain Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/29/19 Full Review Audience Member Very odd and very poor Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Snippets of interviews about the Ipswich murders are turned verbatim into rather dour song - think The Arbor crossed with Sondheim. This concept is very challenging and I hadn't got my head round it even by the end and certainly did not come close to enjoying it. I could see the value though, especially in terms of the ensemble repeating and magnifying the meagre information and rumours spreading through the community. Let's be honest, I also would never have watched a film on this subject without a substantial distancing device (the opposite of the one-star-reviewers!) Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/01/18 Full Review Audience Member Is it supposed to be a musical??? Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Completely innovative and enthralling. Certainly isn't universally appealing, but the way this work was conceived, constructed, and actualized is something to behold. Part docu-drama, part post-modern musical, and wholly and expertly crafted with complete dedication to its purpose. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Strange concept. But I loved the way the rhythm and cadence of natural speech was translated into music.
