NOIAFT’s Chief Entertainment Critic Giò Crisafulli spoke with Luke Kirby (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) at the 2021 Tribeca Festival premiere of No Man of God.

Interview shot by Melissa Batista.

No Man of God Synopsis: It was a radical new approach to criminal investigations: “profiling.” Through one-on-one discussions with serial offenders, FBI researchers could go much more in-depth. FBI analyst Bill Hagmaier (Elijah Wood), emboldened by this new philosophy, sat down with famed serial killer Ted Bundy (Luke Kirby) for several interviews from 1984-1989 inside Florida State Prison, in hopes of figuring out why Bundy murdered more than 20 victims. What started out as a straightforward informational assignment gradually turned personal for Hagmaier, whose feelings about his charismatic subject grew more complicated with each conversation. Is it possible to empathize with evil?
