Movie Reviews of Our Mutual Friend
Movie Review: One of the best period films I've seen, one of my favorite films
Summary: 5 Stars
What a wonderful adaptation for film of Dickens' novel. To anyone who says it is too depressing or dreary, I wonder if they have ever read Dickens at all; he always seems to be heavy on social criticism, part of which includes the conditions that the poor endure. In any case, this movie is lovely for the following reasons: GREAT cast, WONDERFUL sets and costumes- very realistic, and SMOOTH filming, unlike the choppy CSI-style filming of Bleak House, also a good film, but very distracting the way it is filmed. This film is a pleasure to watch!!!!! Buy it!Movie Review: Awesome!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read all the reviews about this classic prior to purchasing it and the positive reviews were spot on! This movie started out a little slow at first but by the time it started building up, I could not wait to see what happened! The story line flowed without divulging too much until you could not take it any more. I did figure out some of the mysteries but the ending was truly a surprise for me for I did not read the novel. I have many peroid romances and I don't usually watch the long ones again but this one I will definately watch over and over!Movie Review: This is a great Dickens story!

I'd never heard of this story before getting the DVD a few weeks ago. My husband and I sat down and watched it over the course of a few days (he really liked it too). It was great, and the BBC has done another wonderful job in bringing this to the screen! If you like the other Dickens that have been filmed like Nickolas Nickleby, David Copperfield, A Christmas Carol, etc., then you will love this one too. Have you seen Bleak House (2005) staring Gillian Anderson? It is another one that is not as well known, and it is excellent too!Movie Review: A Great Classic!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This adaptation of the classic Dickens novel was brilliant!
While no adaptation can ever generally compare with the book, this has hit the mark! I've watched this with friends and family who had never read Dickens, or only read his works when they were forced to in school, and they thoroughly enjoyed it! If you've never read Dickens, or found that the works that you have read or tried to read are tedious , this is a great way to 'meet' Dickens, and to see the fantastic way his mind works.
Movie Review: A Fascinating Story, Fascinatingly Rendered
Summary: 5 Stars
After having listened to the audiobook version of this book, I purchased the DVD from Amazon. It is very well done -- lots of drama, mystery, love, and even a touch of violence. The performers bring the characters to life, and the production brings the era to life. My spouse and I made sure we carved out an hour or two every evening until we got through the full six hours, and it was always difficult to tear ourselves away in order to go to bed. Very enjoyable -- leaves an impression on you for days afterward.
