Review of Great Expectations (2012) by Chris V — 02 Dec 2012
A classic retold. The movie takes a much more drastic pace forward from the second half onwards. Not entirely to my liking, I must admit. Heavy reliances on flashbacks to keep the story pacing; which seemed a big cheat according to filmmaking norms.
Helena Bonham Carter didn't have much to 'work with', which was disappointing.
