Movie Reviews

  • the pleasures of this adaptation are ultimately little more than a meager imitation of the riches Dickens achieved on the page
    by Justin Chang [Variety ]
  • Newell and writer David Nicholls only pull their punches in a restyled ending that's just as foggy as the scenery
    2 of 5 by Stella Papamichael [Digital Spy ]
  • it's handsome, involving and stars the cream of British acting talent - but so did Lean's unbeatable version, and Newell and Nicholls' safe, schoolteacher-friendly interpretation makes no real case for going down this much-travelled road once more
    3 of 5 by Guy Lodge [Empire Magazine ]
  • is never less than watchable, but the pacing frequently drags and it lacks the emotional impact of the recent BBC TV version
    3 of 5 by Matthew Turner [ViewLondon ]
