Critics' reviews

"A dark, sad, frightening, gloomy story (...) the movie is as visually intimate as a Bergman film, and avoids most of the cliches suggested by the material (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Too bad the overreaching script has to go after effects recalling 'Alien,' but as a stylistic exercise this still has its chills"

Jonathan Rosenbaum: Chicago Reader
"'Mary Reilly' has plenty of production polish but little of the dramatic force and erotic spark needed to vivify a tale of the famous split personality and his young chambermaid."

Godfrey Cheshire: Variety
"This maudlin film transforms the legend of Jekyll and Hyde into a talky romantic love triangle"

Rita Kempley: The Washington Post
"Clearly Ms. Roberts has the makings of a serious actress and the wherewithal to become one, but 'Mary Reilly' offers a vehicle that is unrelievedly grim."

Janet Maslin: The New York Times
"In an era when Bram Stoker's Dracula, Interview With The Vampire and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein desperately try to sell themselves as romantic melodramas (...) this isn't afraid to be a horror movie (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Kim Newman: Empire
