CRITICS OF "Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman"

New Zealand Herald

Conceived as a television film, this recreation of the life and times of hangman Albert Pierrepoint is both unfalteringly grim and mesmerisingly watchable.

September 01, 2007

Resource

San Francisco Chronicle

Grim and disturbing yet perversely riveting.

June 22, 2007

Resource

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Plodding biopic.

July 17, 2009

Resource

Boston Globe

Very much a bookend to Vera Drake in its mixture of post war British reserve and ugly reality. [Actor] Spall makes it work, creating a little man with big and terrible secrets.

June 15, 2007

Resource

Monsters and Critics

Albert Pierrepoint single-handedly killed over 450 people in his career, dispatching most of them with an icy precision in less than 30 seconds.

September 07, 2007

Urban Cinefile

A suitably sombre treatment of a sombre story, Pierrepoint is nevertheless a riveting drama, sketching out not only the salient facts of Albert Pierrepoint's life but the turmoil in which that life caused in his soul

October 09, 2007

Resource

Oregonian

Overdramatizes Albert's 24-year career.

July 13, 2007

Resource

Film Threat

Spall is more than worthy of future leading roles.

August 07, 2007

Globe and Mail

[The film's] grittiness instantly adds to the historically and socio-economically convincing picture of working-class Yorkshire in the last century.

June 15, 2007

Chicago Sun-Times

The key to the film is in the performances by Spall and Stevenson -- and by Marsan. The utter averageness of the characters, their lack of insight, their normality, contrasts with the subject matter in an unsettling way.

November 02, 2007

Resource

Chicago Reader

The movie grows more compelling in the latter half as British public opinion turns against capital punishment and Pierrepoint begins to have his own doubts.

June 21, 2007

Resource

Toronto Star

The very title of this movie seems to message its doom. What could possibly be dramatic enough about Britain's last hangman to carry our interest over a 90-minute film? A whole lot, it turns out.
