“Boston Strangler” (R) -- You might’ve guessed from the title that this film is based on the true story of the 1960s serial killer the Boston Strangler, who had been linked to the murders of 15 women throughout Boston, Massachusetts. Told through the point of view of reporter Loretta Mclaughlin (Keira Knightley), this film follows Loretta as she begins to connect the dots between each murder. As she gathers evidence alongside fellow reporter Jean Cole (Carrie Coon), not only does Loretta try to fight for the perpetrator to be brought to justice; she must also fight to be heard within her own newsroom and within a male-dominated society. Alessandro Nivola and Chris Cooper also star in “Boston Strangler,” out now. (Hulu)
