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.

This Great Expectations is an absorbing addition to the roster of Dickens films that continues our 21st-century fascination with the worlds created by a 19th-century storyteller.

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

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