The setting of this film restores the urban style of London in the 18th century very well, with narrow and dilapidated streets, muddy roads and a theater surrounded by a large number of people at the bottom. The dark picture also fits the tone of the film. The props and scenery worked hard.

The performances of the three leading actors in the film are also very good, especially the post-90s actress Olivia Cook who plays the heroine's performance is very eye-catching. After checking her information, it turns out that she is the heroine of "Player No. 1". The future is limitless. Another interesting plot in the film is that Karl Marx (yes, the one we are familiar with), as one of the suspects in the film, with his iconic beard, made a cameo appearance as a hypothetical murderer, which is estimated to be the first in history. A movie with scenes of Marx wielding a knife to kill.
