Les Miserables

...a potent piece of cinema, most especially for fans of the musical hungering for nearness to the material.

...conquers its audience with weapons all its own: not passion so much as passionate sincerity, not power so much as overwhelming force.

...rings with all the emotion and power of the source and provides a new model for the movie musical.

...den mest fængende musicalfilm siden Baz Luhrmanns 'Moulin Rouge', den mest hjerteskærende siden von Triers 'Dancer in the Dark'.

...en noget ujævn omgang, der fint sætter billeder på musicalens fortælling og med stor ivrighed dyrker det, som teateret har svært ved: nærbillederne og den helt sagte sangs inderlighed.
