San Francisco Examiner -
Handsome, well-acted, well-written and beautifully directed movie.

Salon -
Great Expectations is a triumph because Cuarón's vision prevailed. He seems to be one of those artists capable of reminding us how we first experienced movies, as an overpowering enchantment.

Austin Chronicle -
Though Cuaron slips a time or two during his stylistic highwire act, his refreshingly original movie, aided by Hawke's career-best acting in the lead role, is a joy to watch.

Chicago Sun-Times -
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.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
You may well watch this film and not buy into a single frame. Me, I couldn't help myself.
