Movie Reviews of Our Mutual Friend
Movie Review: Great Adaptation!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent adaptation of the book- yes, it leaves out a few things, but overall it does a great job of converting a mammoth novel to a screenplay. The acting is great, and the character development is wonderful. The directing does run a bit slow in spots. If you're a fan of "Pride & Prejudice" (and thus don't mind long movies), I think you'll enjoy "Our Mutual Friend". I'm so excited this is coming out on DVD- I've been waiting for it!Movie Review: really really good!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of BBC/A&E type costume dramas (Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, North and South, Wives and Daughters, etc) you will really love this DVD! Although darker than Jane Austen, this Dickens adaptation is very satisfying all-around. The cast is excellent, plot twisty and entertaining, costumes to die-for, etc. I highly recommend this- beware though, it is very hard not to watch all 6 hours of this DVD in one sitting!Movie Review: A stellar production
Summary: 5 Stars
I vaguely remember seeing a dramatization of Our Mutual Friend on PBS in the 1980s, but the only character I remembered was the dollmaker. This 1999 production is outstanding. Great cast - especially Paul McGann - lots of twists, and kept me glued to it for all 5 1/2 hours. I'm so glad that Amazon has included this gem in it's growing selection of British films and adaptions for television. Simply brilliant.Movie Review: Our Mutual Friend
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my all time favorite movie. It takes a long time to watch the entire show, but it is well worth the time spent. On watching this movie, my eyes were opened to what an absolute master Dickens was at developing characters that engaged you, and highlighting the differences in people who through their free will, chose obesession, loyalty, love, greed, revenge and honor.Movie Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
Acting, settings, and storyline were superb. The movie depicted Charles Dickens' novel beautifully. We have watched many BBC Dickens DVD's and were totally happy with every one of them. Our Mutual Friend was particularly enjoyable because of the number and variety of characters and plots which eventually were all woven together.
It's definitely a movie to see!
