The Mystery of Edwin Drood (2012)
Underrated script, fantastic acting
13 August 2012 - 22 out of 24 users found this review helpful.
This production is so underrated. It made me want to re-visit the novel, which had originally been a very frustrating read.
Hughes does a wonderful job developing and finishing the plot. Using Dickens' Bleak House and Our Mutual Friend as a guide, its likely that the Drood story was left less than half finished. I found the film ending satisfying and quite Dickensian in its use of coincidence and secret family ties.
Among a wonderful cast, Matthew Rhys makes me want to re-watch the film. His John Jasper is wonderfully horrible, a great anti-hero. Bravo!
