REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..is never less than watchable, but the pacing frequently drags and it lacks the emotional impact of the recent BBC TV version..”
by Matthew Turner [ViewLondon]
“..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]
