Great Expectations (2011–2012)
3/10
Hated Estella
30 March 2019
I saw this years ago and from what I can remember it was a decent production. I just started watching again but I can't finish it. The greatest fault was Estella, both young and older versions. It's been even longer since I read the book, but I recall that Estella was enchanting, enticing, a dream vision, every man's desire. She was raised to break men's hearts and leave them a broken shell. As soon as she was introduced, I skipped ahead to make sure this was the version that most disappointed me. Nobody would desire this Estella. They represented her as a stern Victorian woman, as ugly on the outside as she is inside.
