Goofs
The film is set in the early 1880s with flashbacks; yet, Lizzie is seen wearing "lamb chop" sleeve-style dresses/bodices/coats - brought into fashion in the 1890s. Sleeves would have been close fitting to the shoulders in the 1870s-1880s. See more »

Lizzie Cree:
My gender becomes inured to injustice. We expect it until we can greet it merely with a shrug.

The Limehouse Golem is a hugely atmospheric, gothic murder mystery. It is visually stunning, blood thirsty and enthralling. I enjoyed from start to finish, even if I couldn't always follow the plot at times. This is a film I think I will enjoy much more on subsequent viewings as I'll be able to take more in, and discover the small details I missed first time round. Stunning sets, glorious costumes, it really is a visual treat, they managed to capture the spirit of the Ripper's London. It felt like a film version of Ripper Street meets Sherlock. Fabulous performances, Billy Nighy, Olivia Cooke and Sam Reid all excellent, but the star of the show had to be Douglas Booth, who was simply tremendous.
Deserving of a higher rating here, and a higher status, this is a quality film. 7/10
