Everything is perfect in this product: the cast, the technical elements (photography, sets, costumes, etc.) but also the dramatic framework of this investigation that turns out to be more complex than the beginning of the film suggests.
With a heavy climate of winter and autumn (big work on the photography) that gives an atmosphere to the film, an identity, almost unreal, that goes with the conclusion of the film.
The addition of Harry Melling in the role of Edgar Allan Poe allows to add elements to the plot, not necessarily irrational, but convolutions that give the flavor of this story.
However, we remain hungry, because the rational and primary side of our investigator Christian Bale will finally reveal things related to the irrational mixed with real concreteness (everything related to his wife). This discovery of the culprits of the murders is not a surprise, but leaves us wanting more.
Nevertheless Scott Cooper is gifted to paint atmospheres, coherent and dense universes.
