Crazy, Not Insane
What makes killers kill?
This brand-new HBO documentary examines controversial forensic psychiatrist Dorothy Otnow Lewis’ research into the psychology of some of the world’s most notorious murderers, drawing on chilling videotaped footage of her death row interviews and case-studies, from Arthur Shawcross to Ted Bundy, as she challenges the notion that murderers are born and not made.
Crazy, Not Insane is narrated by Oscar winner Laura Dern (Big Little Lies, Marriage Story), and written and directed by Oscar winner Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side, Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room, The Inventor: Out for Blood In Silicon Valley).
The film has a 94% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Variety calls it “Ominously absorbing,” saying, “You may not agree with everything Dorothy Lewis says in Crazy, Not Insane, but you come out of the movie alive to the place where evil and insanity meet…”
