I love the works of Dickens and this story is a particular favourite. I like to get lost in a good film or book. The PC casting of this film destroys any chance of that. Dev Patel is a great actor and there are many great Indian actors who could have played his mother why use a caucasian blonde? Benedict Wong as Mr Wickfield is brilliant as ever but Rosalind Eleazar, though brilliant in the role, is not believable as his daughter. Woke audiences will pretend to love this but only through fear of appearing unwoke.
