Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Kirpianuscus at first sigh - an inspired adaptation. in fact, admirable gem. for the high acting. for atmosphere. for the splendid manner to use great actors who explores each nuance of the novel. a film who impress for the grace and for the profound science of spirit of period. a film who reminds the spirit of realism and the heart of Dickens' work. themes and characters. emotion as seed of magnificent show. and the force to do more than a beautiful film but for rediscover the universe of Nicholas Nickleby in special manner. a film about virtues. who has the art to explore not only a novel but to use the lines of each novel by Dickens. and that virtue is the most important thing in this case.

Desertman84 Douglas McGrath made the fourth adaptation of Charles Dickens' Nicholas Nickleby by writing the screenplay and directed this film that tells the story of how a teenager manages to become the head of the family when his father died.Charlie Hunnam plays the title role together with a cast of talented actors and actresses like Nathan Lane,Christopher Plummer and Anne Hathaway.After the unexpected death of his father,Nicholas watched over his mother and his sister Kate.Big challenges came when they realized that the father lost the family fortune due to bad investments.This makes Nicholas to seek help of his Uncle Ralph for help.He also becomes a teacher in a school of unfortunate boys that is run by Wackford Squeers and his wife.Due to all three - his uncle and the Squeers couple - being cruel and did not treat him well,he decided to run away and meets the eccentric Vincent Crummles and his fortune changes for the better.This is an absolutely well-acted,well-directed and an entertaining adaptation a Dickens serial.Aside from that,it was has a great theme about the triumph of good over evil.Despite the fact that it has a fast pace as the event happen very quickly due to its lengthy source,it was definitely a worthy adaptation of Dickens' work as it was able to tell the complete story within the time allotted for the film.

Armand it is a pure Dickens. the spirit of novel, the details of its universe, the splendid acting - Jamie Bell is the great revelation - are pieces of a lovely sensitive film who can not only seduce but be an admirable discover. because it is a beautiful movie and its beauty is result not only for the inspiration of director and exemplary choice of cast but for the recreation, with care and precision, of a world atmosphere, the powerful images, the great performance, the Dickens spirit, together, makes the entire work more than a common adaptation. work of extraordinary actors, it is a real joy for viewer. and that is important. so, see it !

TheLittleSongbird Overall, this film is very good. The book is just great, and while not my favourite book by Charles Dickens it is an engrossing read with vivid characters. What stuck out for me was the film's beautiful period detail and production values. As to be expected, the cinematography is very nice, while the costumes and scenery are just gorgeous. The music is lovely too and captures every mood of every scene perfectly. The story is still engrossing, the characters are still interesting and the pace is fine. Also the direction is nicely done. The writing occasionally jars particularly with Anne Hathaway's character, but overall the film is well written particularly with Uncle Ralph and Mr Squeers. The acting on the whole is very good. Charlie Hunnam is likable enough in the lead, while both Jim Broadbent and Christopher Plummer are just marvellous and Tom Courtenay is both humorous and heart wrenching. For me, only Anne Hathaway disappointed. She is a lovely and appealing actress, but she does have some of the film's worst dialogue which she didn't quite try to give some oomph to, and I also thought she was a little too modern. In conclusion, it is a very good film. 8/10 Bethany Cox
