David Copperfieldin elämä ja teot

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

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.

...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.

...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.
