This documentary gave a very interesting look at a novelist obsessed with murder, namely unsolved murder. From his own mother's mysterious death to the Famous murder mystery of the Black Dhalia, this film explores different theories on these deaths and others, while giving the viewer an inside look at James Ellroy as a man and a writer. Overall, it was informative and I would recommend it for fans of his novels and adapted films such as L.A. Confidential.
