That's the way to make a period movie!
No lingering shots of the expensive, beautiful sets & costumes.(But they are still noticed) no slow, drawn out clippety cloppety horse carriages,.
not a single dull moment.

Gorgeous, riveting, hilarious, heart-warming

It's has some, dashings (but not full on) of those 'Moulin rouge' madness scenes.

Filled with the cream of British film industry.

This movie had me when I saw Dev Patel and Hugh Laurie were in it... it was a cute adaptation. It was a breath of fresh air to see the diverse cast and roles they played. If you like whimsical flicks then you should enjoy this!

A charming film with potty British humour - Tilda Swinton kicking a donkey... what more do you need? 7/10

A good adaptation of a classic. If you need a movie with a happy ending and love period dramas with a bit of comedy watch this.

>You had nothing, then you had something. Now, you got nothing again. So, stands to right you'll have something again.
(Synopsis of the movie)

The weirdest story of a magician ever. They really just took the story of the famous modern illusionist and put the Dickens into him.

Strange that there was no magic in it, though, but in the other hand, there was some in it throughout.

(Equally as odd, though lesser so, was the appearance of Uriah Heep, who did not have long hair or even sing "Easy Livin'".)

Movie is getting a pass based on its casting. Terrible. Adapting a novel should not presuppose you read the novel. They don't identify the characters by name then endlessly discuss them when off screen. Uhhhhh...that doesn't work with a movie with this many characters. Boring and unfunny to boot.

It's the story we know and love, but shot through with the quirkiness you would expect from Iannucci. Occasionally a little too farcical, but with the excellent cast, it's always enjoyable.

An original and colorful adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel. The director brings dynamism, and offers a modern look that fits well with the story. This view also includes the use of actors from different ethnic groups, which offers a political vision, like almost all Iannucci's projects. It is a delight to see these great actors let their hair down with their characters.
