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
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
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
