Critic Reviews
-
Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle
The film is too mannered, too stuffy.
-
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Sluggish and interminable, Mary Reilly makes good on little of its potential to be disturbing and none of its chance to be emotionally involving.
-
Susan Stark, Detroit News
Unfortunately, your response to the bizarre story of terror and lust that dare not speak their name is pretty well limited to Roberts' response -- which is, in turn, limited by her technique.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Mary Reilly works as Gothic melodrama because it understands the genre so well.
-
Stanley Kauffmann, New Republic
The story lacks purpose.
