Reviews


75
The A.V. Club - Nathan Rabin
The new Burke & Hare offers many pleasures, chief among them the return of the Landis of old.
70
The New York Times - Neil Genzlinger
Those who care less about such stuff than about being entertained will find plenty to like in this ghoulish comedy, a droll take on one of the most notorious mass-murder cases of the 19th century.
50
Variety - Unnamed
The film struggles to match the original Ealing's quality benchmark, and its unapologetically old-fashioned sensibility may have trouble connecting with contempo audiences.
50
New York Post - Kyle Smith
All of the actors are enjoying themselves, and the movie is stuffed with history, atmosphere and vivid characters. What's in short supply, though, is laughter.
40
The Hollywood Reporter - Ray Bennett
A so-called black comedy that is more sort of dull, spotty and yucky.
