Clint Worthington RogerEbert.com [F]or as much as "Doctor Jekyll" rides high on its compelling central performance (and the gender politics therein), the film that surrounds that star turn can't quite hide (or Hyde?) its weightlessness. Rated: 2/4 Aug 2, 2024 Full Review William Bibbiani TheWrap Part throwback, part update and a little bit creaky, it’s all-in-all an excellent showcase of Izzard’s wonderful talents. Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Todd Gilchrist Variety Though Stephenson finds a more-than-game collaborator in Izzard as both the good and evil doctor, “Doctor Jekyll” is meandering and empty, an update with neither enough loyalty to its source material or imagination to make its departures meaningful. Mar 15, 2024 Full Review Alyse Wax Screenopolis I was hoping it would have an engaging new take on the popular narrative, what with a trans woman in the lead. It did not. Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast A meandering, dull adaptation that even Izzard's delightful performance can't salvage. Rated: 2/5 Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast Despite strong performances, writer Dan Kelly-Mulhern doesn't do anything with the material, which results in a film that's just kinda boring. You're better off revisiting 1971's Doctor Jekyll and Sister Hyde. A soft recommend just for Izzard. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 19, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Joe G I think most critics didn't "get it". This is a far better movie than what I had read about. Eddie Izzard is perfect as Dr. Jekyll, both sincere and sinister. And I sensed a real chemistry between Ms. Izzard and her co-star Scott Chambers playing a hapless, desperate, and confused young man with a past. A great addition to gothic horror in general and Hammer productions in particular. Bravo to all involved! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Valerii Ege D Doctor Jekyll is a mediocre film that tries to innovate rather than rely on the classic story, but it fails to find the right narrative. The disappointing part is that it’s a film unworthy of Eddie Izzard's performance. Her acting is exquisite, despite the weak storyline. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Tanya L Bloody Brilliant. Best movie of Suzy’s I have seen in a long time. Love the old horror Hammer films. Would love to see her in more! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/24 Full Review Angela L A new spin on a classic story, well constructed and shot. Excellent cast in an atmospheric, sometimes unsettling narrative which is not shy when it comes to the darker aspects of it's storyline. Would have been great to have had bigger cinematic distribution Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review Alina D Really great watch! Loved the acting and chemistry brought to the table by Eddie and Scott. You can really see Rob's (Scott Chambers) character shift throughout the film. I was gripping the edge of my seat! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Andrew R Very watchable and an atmospheric throw back to the iconic Hammer of the past. Primarily a 2 hander cast with some great chemistry between Eddie Izard and Scott Chambers throughout. A steady build to the climactic heart breaking ending. Who can stop Hyde! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
