New York Post
Gripping and stylish thriller.
80
Wall Street Journal
Ambitious, visually stunning and hugely accomplished.
67
Portland Oregonian
A tug-of-war between a bracing vision of a truly infernal crime spree -- complete with engaging whodunit storytelling -- and a sometimes clumsy period drama.
60
An astonishing act of synthesis, bringing together disparate Ripper theories and a fiercely idiosyncratic version of London's history, architecture, policing and social structure.
60
So beautifully realized as a mood piece that it takes a while for a slight disappointment to register.
