Reviews
80
It’s an entertainingly bizarre, lurid nightmare with a playfully literary flavour, very Ackroydian, but with hints of Angela Carter and a bit of William Blake.

There are a lot of twists and turns in the plot, but not all of them are satisfying. What does work are the performances, specifically Cooke and the richly sympathetic character she creates.

The Limehouse Golem may be hokum, but it’s glorious hokum that brings something fresh to the stale old cadaver of Victorian melodrama.
75
The script carries us through without much effort, its expertly paced discoveries keeping us enthralled.

"Limehouse” is more a fascinating world to be immersed in than a dazzling telling of a morbid tale.
