Reviews

Christian Science Monitor -
Altogether remarkable, a near-masterpiece.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
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.
|
|
The New York Times -
With tact and enthusiasm, Mr. Polanski grabs hold of a great book and rediscovers its true and enduring vitality.
|
|
Variety -
A respectable literary adaptation but lacks dramatic urgency and intriguing undercurrents.
|
|
Village Voice -
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.
