La vita straordinaria di David Copperfield

Iannucci’s conception feels breathtakingly original...

...a sweet and soothing tonic, it is utterly impossible not to succumb to its spell.

It really is a wonderfully entertaining film, managing to both respect and reinvent the novel from which it takes its lead, creating something new and exciting in the process.

...this Personal History is a worthy addition.

In the capable hands of Dev Patel, our hero is effortlessly charismatic, hopelessly romantic and endlessly dashing in Victorian gentleman garb.

...Iannucci has created a Dickens adaptation that elevates the writer (if that was possible) to the very top of the list of Greatest in the English Language.
