Where to Watch Mary Reilly
- JeremiahMay 11, 2026Broke my 90s streak with the last movie but im back already baby. This here is a slog and usually bad accents dont bug me but put me on that list of ppl who think julia roberts really failed the accent department. What it does have going for it is a well done atmospheric victorian era vibe for sure and you know i love me some victorian thrillers. But color me disappointed mostly in this. Malkovich is Malkovich mostly but does play two opposite sides of malkovich naturally. Movie coulda shifted more towards horror and been better for it. The one trasformation we see on camera is laughable cause of the 90s cgi. Had that scene been done the same with cuts and a well done practical effect from like any of the special effects wizards of the day it coulda been top tier, but alas. 90s charm. Not a great movie but it still has that 90s charm.
