Synopsis:
The story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is given a new twist when seen through the innocent eyes of Dr. Jekyll's housemaid, Mary Reilly. Mary (Julia Roberts) is sensitive to the needs and weaknesses of her master, Dr. Henry Jekyll (John Malkovich) and is prepared to do almost anything for him. Her trust is a blessing as the doctor embarks on a new, dangerous experiment - one that will bring about a meeting between Mary and Dr. Jekyll's sinister assistant Mr. Hyde. Although Mary remains devoted to her brilliant but rather reserved employer, she finds herself attracted to the charms of the mysterious Mr. Hyde. Together Mary and Mr.
Hyde share a terrible secret that will cast both fear and danger on the Jekyll household. Mary Reilly must confront her own personal demons and dangerous desires if she is to survive and vanquish one of humanity's greatest evils.

Better than one might expect.... - Mary Reilly review by SB

Spoiler Alert
14/12/2023

from the majority of critics' reviews. Gloomily stylish in design, and with one caveat, the performances of the leads are good (as are some other cast members like Kathy Staff and George Cole). The pacing is good, so interest does not flag. The last 15 minutes are a little messy and could perhaps have been done better. The only other negative I would note is that Julia Roberts cannot do an Irish accent, and might as well not have bothered to try - the director should have done something about that from the start.
