Review of Les Misérables (1998) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 12 Nov 2000
Les Miserables is like a perfectly respectable Classics Illustrated version of the Victor Hugo novel. It contains the moments of high drama, clearly outlines all the motivations, is easy to follow and lacks only passion.
A story filled with outrage and idealism becomes somehow merely picturesque.
