Dickens on acid
6 September 2018
That isn't original...it is a description of these movies by a popular Dickens blog to describe this unwieldy mess. In short, don't waste your precious time-watch the BBC series instead. Great acting is wasted in this rambling tale that strays so far from the novel and eliminates so many characters that the story is almost incomprehensible. Granted, the age difference between the central figures in the love story is emphasized in the novel, but in this movie its uncomfortable, unrealistic and kinda creepy. Sir Alec Guinness is great...its the only reason I gave this disaster any stars.
