Joe Leydon Variety 05/06/2016
A spooky and stylish thriller that sustains interest even after it veers from the flamboyantly fantastical to the relatively realistic. Go to Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 05/05/2016
Eventually, even the story sinks under the weight of its forced grandiosity and literal-mindedness. Go to Full Review Daniel M. Gold New York Times 05/05/2016
Like one of its unfortunate acrobats, the movie spins out of control. Go to Full Review James Mudge easternKicks.com 10/27/2020
3.5/5

Raymond Yip Wai Man's Phantom of the Theatre has all the easy-to-digest charm of a Disneyland attraction. Also most of the built-in limitations. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Seanax.com 12/15/2016
It may seem corny to American audiences but it's entertaining and handsome, with a grand sense of design, lavish costumes, and bigger than life emotions, like a lavish, colorful old Hollywood picture with modern special effects. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
