Critic Reviews

Control's Sam Riley steps into a role made unforgettable by a young Richard Attenborough in the 1947 original and makes it his own, slipping into the character like a second skin.Full Review

Pam Grady
Boxoffice Magazine

What might have been a long walk off a short pier becomes a valid, vital rethinking of a crime classic.Full Review

Joshua Rothkopf
Time Out New York

While the two leads emerge soulless as melodrama hovers around the edges of the tale, the era is convincingly portrayed and the melancholy mood is hauntingly rendered.Full Review

Claudia Puig
USA Today

The film is almost distractingly beautiful to look at, something that accentuates the tension between the film's conflicting quantities, i.e., the glories of the physical world, and the corrupted humanity it hosts.Full Review

John Anderson
Wall Street Journal

By discarding most of the theological debate, the movie is no longer a passion play but a gritty and despairing noir. That's good enough for me.Full Review
