Perfect Story...

Dark scenes look stunning on OLED.

I saw the most interesting personality and great performs of Act,
First half goes slow but just be patient, you will be nourished by Art of Dramma.

Because it made me wish to watch again immediately.

A decent crime story with a detective thread that keeps secrets to itself until the very end.

Loved the way the scenes were set with colours and atmosphere, as well as there were a few Poe-motives snuck into it here and there.
And what a fun fellow Poe was! Enjoyed every minute of his and Landon’s exchanges.

I liked how the mystery keeps deepening, how you start suspecting about everyone until you get set on a path, question everything and in the end still get a completely new story.
I did suspect that everything was connected, would just have been too many loose threads in a good story, but it wasn’t obvious for me how until the end. I did also suspect that maybe the main character we are being introduced to and put ourself into his shoes might not be as innocent and maybe have something to do with it, but the plot quickly distracted me from that thought.

Enjoyed this greatly

Some of these comments, jesus. A dialogue based murder mystery isn't boring as long as the acting is good, as it is in this film. So a movie is boring unless it has a gazillion explosions and 30 minute MCU fight scenes? smh

Melling was the real standout here, and his performance alone held my attention. Bale's performance was more subdued, but that was also the character he was playing. The film lacked some depth since we know next to nothing about Landor, except the tragic story of his daughter and a really brief rundown of his past as a constable. It would have been better to consolidate some of the investigation and provide more background on Landor and his family so that the end has more weight. But otherwise, I thought this was certainly must-watch if you like literature, mysteries and historical set pieces, and Melling was totally compelling as Poe.

An honest thriller, with excellent performances by Bale and Melling. Indeed, the pace is a bit slow in some passages, but overall, in my opinion, it is a well-written script, with a final twist that is not entirely obvious. Landor's role as father and teacher to Poe also gives the movie that touch of humanity that makes it less cold and detached.

Great atmosphere and moving story. Sometimes quite slow but catches up in the second part.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm dumber than Patrick Star, so I'm not sure if the clues were obvious to others, but I did NOT see that ending coming. It hit me right in the feels, damn.
