Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle There's still a great deal of satisfaction to be had in both the resolution of the plot's many mysteries and the thematic throughlines of the three films. Rated: 4/4 Mar 26, 2010 Full Review Tom Long Detroit News Stands as a wrenching tale of power abused and lives discarded. It is powerful stuff. Rated: B+ Mar 19, 2010 Full Review Brian Tallerico Movie Retriever Anand Tucker's direction and Tony Grisoni's screenplay aren't perfect but is yet another work that stands relatively well on its own but is made infinitely better when viewed in the light of the first two films. Mar 12, 2010 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review An extremely satisfying conclusion to a monumental series of films that in sum will reward audiences willing to confront the otherwise harsh, unforgiving material. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 22, 2023 Full Review Taylor Baker Drink in the Movies Episode 30: Capernaum / The Red Riding Trilogy / High Flying Bird Rated: 60/100 Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row Beautifully filmed, and is more satisfying in its connection to the first film, providing much needed closure to a series marked by its stubborn refusal to offer any such comforting affectations. Rated: 3/4 Aug 5, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

nilufer e This series kind of disappointed me but the ending was good, I'd have to give it that. I didn't like the atmosphere and how terrifying the Yorkshire Ripper is wasn't portrayed enough, it was more psychological. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent acting and a another well conceived narrative which skillfully brought back elements from it's two predecessors, tying this trilogy together with an extremely satisfying conclusion. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The Ending, Police Corruption, Pedophile Ring... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member The conclusion was deeply disturbing, and the ending doesn't really have much to do with the Yorkshire Ripper as a conspiracy and cover-up. Well made, but too disturbing to recommend or rewatch. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Just watched and absolutely loved it!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member An excellent ending to the trilogy and finally answers are given and Maurice finds redemption for all of his shortcomings in the previous two films. Once everything is revealed there are still a few questions about the corruption that are never answered which does bother me some, but still doesn't take away from the overall enjoyment of the film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
