Reviews

Christian Science Monitor - Peter Rainer
Altogether remarkable, a near-masterpiece.
83
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Yet precisely because this is by Roman Polanski, it's irresistible to read his sorrowful and seemingly classical take, from a filmmaker known as much for the schisms in his personal history as for the lurches in his work, as something much more personal and poignant.
80
The New York Times - Dana Stevens
With tact and enthusiasm, Mr. Polanski grabs hold of a great book and rediscovers its true and enduring vitality.
70
Variety - Todd McCarthy
A respectable literary adaptation but lacks dramatic urgency and intriguing undercurrents.
70
Village Voice - Jessica Winter
Accomplished if lacking in urgency, this Oliver Twist (scripted by Ronald Harwood, who also wrote "The Pianist") showcases Polanski's proven gift for Dickensian caricature.
