Shocking

I was really shocked by this film ,it showed no empathy for the victims or their families and came across as callous and cold hearted. This sort of story should be kept as a documentary or court case film.Not a musical where some of the characters are even laughing and joking about. What bad taste,if this was made about Jack The Ripper set in 1889 it would still be bad taste a century later. These Ipswich victims were five vulnerable young women and considering none were sexually assaulted we can only assume they were just easy targets,no motive has ever been established it was unfortunate for them that they all knew and trusted Steven Wright,after all he was probably like other serial killers enjoying the fear and publicity he had created. Who is to say he wouldn't have murdered five office women or cleaners etc if he had the chance? These women were still humans and deserve to RIP , All the way through i couldn't help thinking about these poor families of the victims and how they must feel about this film. Instead the film sympathises only with the local community and their plant growing show,is this really more important?and even goes as far as the locals rejoicing that they have no more soliciting which could have been shown in a more tactful way. I live not far from Ipswich and i must say have never met anyone from Suffolk who acts like the people portrayed in this film,im sure they cant be happy with this film.
