Marrying fact and fiction, Jane Goldman's seamy screenplay is wildly overstuffed; but the director, Juan Carlos Medina, gives the music hall scenes a rowdy authenticity.

New York Times
Rating: 2.5/5 --
A Victorian thriller with rather heavy echoes of Jack the Ripper, this film struggles to rise above the murky atmosphere it weaves. And the plot itself is as dense as the low-lying London fog.

Rating: 3/4 --
A Victorian-era gothic stew that, although perhaps not as ultimately satisfying as it might have been, nevertheless provides for an unsettling two hours.

ReelViews
4 stars out of 5 -- [I]’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.
The Guardian
Unfolding as a more grisly, campier 'Masterpiece Theatre' production, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM based on a 1994 Victorian murder mystery by Peter Ackroyd, makes for a perfectly watchable if overtly theatrical whodunit.
Los Angeles Times
...the best 19th century feminist backstage drama/murder mystery you'll see this year.

FILMINK (Australia)
Rating: 2.5/5 --
The major problem lies with the story's all-too playful tone which diminishes the story's impact and the film's overall lack of originality.
