My Mother's Killer Boyfriend

The mother completely ruined this film. Her acting was so drab and the character so dumb I barely got through it. I was actually rooting for the killer boyfriend.

The previous reviewer has not been in a narcissistically abusive relationship, the script was perfect, and YES, they DO speak and act EXACTLY the way this movie portrayed, from a survivor's point of view this movie got HIS personality absolutely bang on, including the language they use, I suffer from disassociation and CPTSD as a result of the gaslighting I suffered, and YES, they ARE very plausible, hence how they end up in professional jobs! This movie is very accurate if you are a survivor, it might not appeal if you are not, as it seems so far-fetched, but this is how narcissists survive throughout life, they are very VERY covert, and outside of the home they portray the perfect individual very plausibly, but inside the home they are vile, devious and very VERY dangerous!!!!!! The great charmer when you first meet them, but the lack of empathy/honesty and first flashes of deceitful behaviour are MASSIVE RED FLAGS, HEED YOUR GUT INSTINCT AND DO NOT HAVE ONE OF THESE PEOPLE AS PART OF YOUR LIFE - if, however, you are unfortunate to have one as a family member, the best relationship with them is DISTANCE!!!! And keep them as far out of your life as possible!!!!!

The display of the mental illness of NP was spot on. As a narcissist survivor, I was thinking it might be something that was going to make me feel like it wouldn't follow the actual Illness. It was written perfectly in line with the pattern! Plus the subtle connotations in the beginning were also perfect. The acting was ok. But I felt like the Mother should have been a bit more empathetic and actually cry a bit more but it was believable. Really good writing and was very accurate. I think it actually validated my experience. I was glued.

A narcissist or rather a deranged killer manages to persuate all his environment which suffers from unlimited naivity. From hundreds similar stories the most stupid one.

This Lifetime thriller is quite different from the usual. It focuses on a narcissistic guy and he manifests his craziness in selfish personality and speech which is more interesting than the average Lifetime cookie cutter psycho.

A divorced single mom meets a charming English professor. She falls for him but starts notice strange inappropriate behaviour and snappiness. Things progress from nasty selfishness to violence. Damon Runyon acts well as the selfish guy. Amber Goldfarb is good as the woman. The story is quite well directed and paced. It's good that things are kept believable and not too outrageous or silly like in some Lifetime movies.
