Review of Great Expectations (1998) by Spencer L — 04 Feb 2009
A modern day Charles Dickens adaptation,this film is a very underrated drama from 1998.Both Ethan Hawke and Robert Deniro have wonderful performances,but the best performance goes out to Anne Bancroft who simply steals every scene.
Gwyneth Paltrow was simply a bad choice for the leading character in my opinion,she simply wasn't very convincing. And by the way, I must also say that Chris Cooper was phenomenal.. what an actor .
The Cinematography was also outstanding and my hat's off for whoever the artist was for Ethan Hawke's character drawings..Very cool stuff. Recommended.
