Dark, shocking, but great

Rating: 8/10 (9 October 2015)

This film was aired on a French channel a few days ago, in its French dubbed version.
I absolutely wanted to watch it. First, because as a fan of the UK and anything related to this country, Jack the Ripper is part of this country's history. Second, because I wanted to watch Johnny Depp's performance.
I have watched many reports about Jack the Ripper and based on these TV reports, I can say that the film is fairly true to the reality, at least, what we are told about it.It's like travelling back through the years to this Victorian era and living the life of the most poor people.
It's an interesting but also very dark and somewhat shocking film, the kind of films that remains printed in your mind. It's a film that grabs you, that you can't watch lightly. It makes you think, imagine, it also frightens you.
Something worth watching anyway.
