ReviewsNew York Times - Sweeney Todd is as much a horror film as a musical. It is also something close to a masterpiece, Newsweek - The performances are pitched at just the right scale: theatrically exaggerated but untainted by 'Broadway' bombast. Who knew Burton would have such an uncanny feel for how to film a musical?, Rolling Stone - Sweeney Todd is a thriller-diller from start to finish: scary, monstrously funny and melodically thrilling. And Depp is simply stupendous, Daily Mail - A bleedin' masterpiece, Hollywood Reporter - The show couldn't have fallen into better hands., Variety - This represents one happy instance of a film made by a director without stage experience that genuinely serves the intentions of the original piece
