David Copperfield - Einmal Reichtum und zurück - Kritiken

It really is a wonderfully entertaining film, managing to both respect and reinvent the novel from which it takes its lead, creating something new and exciting in the process.

Iannucci’s conception feels breathtakingly original...

...a sweet and soothing tonic, it is utterly impossible not to succumb to its spell.

...Iannucci has created a Dickens adaptation that elevates the writer (if that was possible) to the very top of the list of Greatest in the English Language.

In the capable hands of Dev Patel, our hero is effortlessly charismatic, hopelessly romantic and endlessly dashing in Victorian gentleman garb.

There is a driving force of hopeful tailwag energy here, and a relish for the drama and absurdity...

...the clip it moves at, and the frequency of the laugh-out-loud moments make for a rare period piece that should prove a four-quandrant crowdpleaser.

...this Personal History is a worthy addition.

Här finns ett gäng begåvade skådespelare som klarar av alla komiska tonartshöjningar med bravur.

...humor i världsklass...

Dev Patel, der er brite med indiske forældre, er lige så totalt sympatisk og til at holde med her, som han var i gennembrudsfilmen ’Slumdog Millionaire’.

En underhållande skälmhistoria som ger rena julgodiskänslan.

Patel has never been better...

It depicts human growth excitingly and timelessly.

...en morsom og underholdende film.
