Another film of a crime case I'm very familiar with. I actually liked this a lot. I really like the choice to not show any of the murders. The film feels like Ted Bundy's persistent narrative that he's innocent. So it plays really well, because obviously I know he is guilty, but everyone around him has no clue, and I'm never shown it, so it makes it feel very interesting.
Zac Efron just embodies Bundy greatly. From the first scene, I just saw him as the character. Lily Collins, who I'd not heard of, is also really damn good. The scene of her waking up and not seeing her daughter in bed is just amazing. Kaya Scodelario really surprised me here too. She completely disappeared under the hair, glasses and American accent. Jim Parsons and John Malkovich while having slightly smaller roles, were also really really good. I liked all the acting in this.
This really highlights how frustrating this case was, since Bundy was such a persistent dick. I really liked watching people get mad at him for being just an absolute prick while in court. Also shows briefly how much he loved the media interaction, and how some women didn't believe he could do such horrible things.
The music was not too noticeable but when it was there I liked it a lot. The song choices were not too great though, felt a little out of place. But apart from that, I really liked this film. Everything is portrayed really well I think.
