Rating: A- --
As unsettling as it is riveting. Even Sondheim aficionados will see the story with fresh eyes, unless those eyes are covered.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Without any warmth and humor at all, how are you meant to care? I'm not saying you always have to care about someone in a movie - not at all - but here the story is so ludicrous that, unless you can, why bother?

The Spectator
Tim Burton and company have indeed reinvented a wondrous work with an extraordinary vibrancy and vivacity that is to die for. So make a date to meet up on Fleet Street where morality and madness meet.

Behind The Lens
Rating: 2/4 --
Revenge stories don't get a pass just because they are about revenge. If there is a genuine meaning to the legend of Benjamin Barker and what he must go through, poor Tim Burton is no closer to understanding it than his predecessors were.

Rating: 4/5 --
Sondheim has hitherto been ill-served by film adaptations of his stage work, but Burton has done a formidable job of trimming and re-working the original play. A visual and aural treat.

The List
Rating: 3/5 --
This is grand-scale studio-work at its most beguiling.
Time Out
The movie may substitute Grand Guignol for laughs at times, but it's spectacularly stylized -- each throat-slashing exceptional -- persuasively sung, and imaginatively adapted for the screen.
