I've not read the novel by Charles Dickens, and didn't know anything about the film's plot. Maybe the book is better, but I loved this movie. Almost two hours that looked like 30 minutes to me. Great characters and a great direction. Not to forget Robert De Niro role as the escaped prisoner. Adapting a novel to nowadays is always a dangerous work, you can loose some important parts in the process. Reading some other comments, I think Alfonso Cuaron did a good job, like placing Finn birth's place in a humble fishing village in the florida gulf. Gwyneth Paltrow and Anne Bancroft did a great playing, Ethan Hawke not too bad. Ah! And the children Finn/Estella did also a good work. A movie is worth to see. Don't miss it.
