This stylish, poignant drama is probably the closest director David Lynch has got to the mainstream outside of the disastrous Dune.
April 30, 2008
The picture itself is a strange trade-off between Lynch's personal themes -- the night world of obscure, disturbing sexual obsessions -- and the requirements of a middlebrow message movie.
April 30, 2008
Director David Lynch has created an eerily compelling atmosphere in recounting a hideously deformed man's perilous life in Victorian England.

...at its best when the story and period trappings serve Lynch's vision, and vice versa.

This is a tale of redemption and transcendence, of the hunchback of London Hospital, of the noble phantom who wanted to go to the opera, of Beauty and the Beast.

Lynch shows a weakness in this film that isn't present in just about any of his others: Sentimentality.

A marvellous movie, shot in stunning black-and-white by Freddie Francis.

Heartbreaking drama isn't for sensitive viewers.

Lynch's powerful depiction of Merrick (played by John Hurt) moves a viewer from revulsion and fear to empathy and tenderness. That's the very movement of the story itself.

I kept asking myself what the film was really trying to say about the human condition as reflected by John Merrick, and I kept drawing blanks.
