As the pages turn faster, focusing on the hows and whys of a major crime central to the plot, this concision and velocity make the film feel like a modern thriller. Booo.

Though "Great Expectations" is far from a letdown, it doesn't quite feel like it packs the punch its source material deserves.

This new adaptation is a tremendous success... It's refreshing that the story so often retold still has the power to surprise.

Honors the source while making some small but significant alterations.

The film is always gorgeous. Even the realistic vileness of pre-sewerage-system London streets are a wonder to look at.

Bar running through the dense plot at a rate of knots, it's not obvious what Newell or adaptor David Nicholls' 'take' on the proceedings actually is.

Designs have an elaborate Pater-esque quality with an 80s Adam Ant twist, in a contemporary turn on Victorian garb. These elements work.
