Fluid and lyrical and thoroughly transporting. Full Review

Begins 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.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

May not be an absolute triumph, but it's significantly better than just a good effort. Full Review

Largely because Mr. Cuaron is such a voluptuous visual stylist, this Great Expectations is capable of wonder even when its wilder ideas misfire.Full Review

Transforms Charles Dickens into a Chuck. Ground Chuck, unfortunately. [30 January 1998, p. 7D]Full Review
