Uncovering the Disturbing Truth of the Boston Strangler.

The new Hulu series "Boston Strangler" tells a story that differs from the real-life events of the infamous serial killer case. The show depicts a conspiracy theory that there were multiple killers, but the real-life reporter who broke the story, Loretta McLaughlin, never believed in this theory. The evidence overwhelmingly points to Albert DeSalvo as the killer, and new DNA evidence confirmed his link to the last victim. The appeal of conspiracy theories is that they offer easy answers and a sense of control in a complex world, but the reality is that we live in a violent and disorienting time with no easy answers.

Keira Knightley and Carrie Coon shine in 'Boston Strangler' crime drama.

The new Hulu film "Boston Strangler" takes a fresh approach to the infamous serial-killer case by focusing on the two female newspaper reporters who were at the center of the story, several steps ahead of the all-male detectives and rival male reporters. The film is more in line with "She Said," the recent pic about the work of two female New York Times reporters in the pursuit of the Harvey Weinstein rape cases. Keira Knightley and Carrie Coon deliver standout performances as the compassionate women determined to get the truth out about the brutal murders of other women.

The Complexities of the 'Boston Strangler' Case Explored in New Film.

"Boston Strangler" is a true crime movie that follows two reporters covering one of Boston's most infamous crime waves in the early 1960s. Keira Knightley shines as Loretta McLaughlin, a reporter eager to prove her reporting chops despite facing sexist headwinds at the office and from Boston police. The film avoids the pratfalls of contemporary true crime stories and focuses on the journalists unraveling the case. While the film could have been improved with slightly more attention to the interpersonal relationships between characters, "Boston Strangler" stands far above the crowd of true crime programming.
