Leave your thoughts about Great Expectations.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatThe drama has a surface charm and panache that draws out the romantic in all of us. |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserHandsome, well-acted, well-written and beautifully directed movie. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's a fairly minor film, but quite lovely and successful at creating its own time and place. |
| Salon.comCharles TaylorGreat Expectations is a triumph because Cuarón's vision prevailed. He seems to be one of those artists capable of reminding us how we first experienced movies, as an overpowering enchantment. |
| SlateDavid EdelsteinFluid and lyrical and thoroughly transporting. |
| Austin ChronicleRussell SmithThough Cuaron slips a time or two during his stylistic highwire act, his refreshingly original movie, aided by Hawke's career-best acting in the lead role, is a joy to watch. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBegins as a great movie (I was spellbound by the first 30 minutes) but ends as only a good one, and I think that's because the screenplay, by Mitch Glazer, too closely follows the romantic line. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenYou may well watch this film and not buy into a single frame. Me, I couldn't help myself. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliMay not be an absolute triumph, but it's significantly better than just a good effort. |
| The New RepublicStanley KauffmannNo doubt about it: Unlike David Lean's much-loved classic, Cuaron's film is loosely based on Dickens. And that's just fine. |
