Great Expectations - as great as expected? or not another one?
19 November 2012 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

Never a dull moment in Mike Newell's Great Expectations, a classic tale of rags to riches set in Victorian London. Dramatic adaptation of this classic English novel. Our Victorian Romeo and Juliet are Pip (Jeremy Irvine) and Estella (Holly Grainger). The film centres around their melodramatic relationship with each other and their parents, Stella's Miss Haversham (Helena Bonham Carter)and Pip's Magwitch (Ralph Fiennes).

Great characters, great cast, great script with Estella's 'You must know I have no heart, I was made that way' and 'I was brought up to reek revenge on all men' in contrast to Pip's 'Everything I have ever done I have done for you' and 'I have loved you since I first saw you in this house.'

Best performance, Miss Haversham's pensioner in a bridesmaid's dress.
