Critics' reviews

"Keira Knightley and Carrie Coon are pitch-perfect newshounds (...) Smart and powerfully understated (...) Ruskin has made a smart and unsentimental tribute to McLaughlin and Cole"

Sheri Linden: The Hollywood Reporter
"'Boston Strangler' may muddle its facts, but its message never wavers. In a genre dominated by perfunctory intrigue, how exhilarating to see a film with morals this clear, consistent, and touching."

Lena Wilson: The Wrap
"This thriller falls short of its influences yet carves out a small space of its own"

Courtney Howard: Variety
"It’s a compelling, ultimately streamlined retelling of a prolonged investigation and a nice reminder of when newspapers could actually make cultural impact."

Christian Gallichio: The Film Stage
"Knightley travels back in time once again in the sobering and gripping crime drama 'Boston Strangler.' In the process, she delivers one of my favorite Keira Knightley performances of all time. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"

Richard Roeper: Chicago Sun-Times
"Despite the talents of Knightley, Carrie Coon, and Chris Cooper, Hulu's true crime film adaptation never cracks the case"

Brent Simon: AV Club
"It chokes on sexism commentary (...) However, Matt Ruskin's well-researched Hulu film is still a breath of fresh air for the true crime genre's portrayal of violence onscreen."
