Additional InformationA rising artist, flourishing with the help of a benefactor, falls fruitlessly in love with his wealthy childhood playmate, who has grown to be a beautiful coquette. But the nefarious influence of her eccentric, spiteful maiden aunt taints their relationship. A stylish, heavily romantic updating of the eponymous Dickens classic, staged in 1970s south Florida. Bancroft, as the "Miss Havisham" character, steals the show.
ReviewsNew York Times - ...Mr. Cuaron is such a voluptuous visual stylist, this GREAT EXPECTATIONS is capable of wonder..., Rolling Stone - ...Paltrow and Hawke are dazzling....Cuaron imbues their journey with something rare in movies: a genuine romantic spirit..., USA Today - ...Attractively cast..., Premiere - ...Spellbinding camerawork and sexy leads keep this romance lushly entertaining..., Sight and Sound - ...Exciting....It's the films very lightness which confirms Cuaron as probably the most graceful director to emerge in Hollywood this decade...

  • A modern take on Charles Dicken’s famous novel which is highly entertaining and unexpected.

    This modern take on Dicken’s famous novel is highly entertaining with many clever unexpected twists and turns which, surprisingly, work very well. It is not entirely faithful to the original, far from it in fact, so it is not recommended for someone looking for help studying Great Expectations as a set text for GCSE or A level GCE. However for someone who knows the original text well it provides a fascinating challenge to spot what coincides with, contradicts, extends, omits and differs from the plot and characters and the events which Dicken’s version contains. Very enjoyable and superbly acted.
