What can I say, this version of Dickens classic is beautiful. The casting is superb the script is nice and rich, the costumes were to die for. I can see why Justine Waddell favoured hers so much. What really caught my eye was the girl who played the younger version of Estella. What a great actress she is!

I really cannot say a bad thing about this film.

:) Leah.
