Review – Boston Strangler (2023)

A chunk of this movie is a typical grim, poorly-lit, disgustingly voyeuristic retelling of an all-too-familiar serial killer’s tale. The new twist here is that the protagonists are Loretta McLaughlin (Keira Knightley) and Jean Cole (Carrie Coon), two newspaper reporters who battled early 60s sexism and the foot-dragging Boston Police Department to help uncover the Strangler’s identity and put a stop to his crimes. So a lot like Zodiac but with women in the lead. Mildly amusing
