About This Movie
The Life and Crimes of William Palmer, directed by Alan Dossor, is this dark dive into the Victorian psyche, showcasing a surgeon who treats life like a game of chess, only with poison as his weapon of choice. Keith Allen's performance as Palmer is unsettlingly captivating; he embodies this remorseless character with a chilling detachment that's hard to shake off. The film's pacing feels almost methodical, mirroring Palmer's own calculated approach to dealing with those close to him. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the practical effects used to depict the poisonings add a layer of grotesque realism. It’s not just a crime drama; it’s an exploration of morality—or the lack thereof—wrapped in a historical narrative that feels eerily contemporary.
