The film also involves a shocking twist that most viewers will not see coming and, speaking on the subject to Netflix Tudum before its release, director Sam Hobkinson said: "We enter this story from the perspective of Dave, who is caught in a complete web of falsehood. I wanted the storytelling to somehow reflect that confusion, and ultimately, his total disbelief when he realizes what’s happened."
"As a director, it was a gift of a story," Hobkinson added. "Especially if you’re interested in making structured narratives that are about deception and identity."
Check out what critics had to say about the shocking film below:
Rolling Stone - "Hobkinson deserves credit for creating suspense throughout, with assistance from Nick Foster’s score, which happily flirts with Bernard Herrmann, and cinematography and editing that add to the feeling of disorientation and instability."
Chicago Sun Times - "Absolutely bizarre and chilling..."
The Daily Beast - "Even in a crowded true-crime field, it’s something of a doozy."
New York Times - "True-crime doc watchers who are in committed relationships may see Lover, Stalker, Killer, a bracing account of a lurid series of misdeeds directed by Sam Hobkinson, and breathe a sigh of relief over being out of the dating pool."
