REVIEWS RATE: Critics Readers [Rate It]

“..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]

2 of 5

“..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]

3 of 5

“..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]

3 of 5

“..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]
