Iannucci always brings a tongue that’s firmly planted in his cheek. Here he does it again when telling this tale. Dev Patel is a fantastic actor. He once again brings it. Read more

If you’re looking for a film adaptation to bring Dickens to life for a bunch of disinterested students, you could do worse than this witty, imaginative take.

It’s fun, and amusing (though rarely laugh-out-loud funny), and the long-limbed Dev Patel is incredibly charming as the titular man of many names.

This David Copperfield has its own lunatic charm to burn. Gone are the laugh out loud moments as well as the bitter aftertaste of Iannucci’s best work, but in their place is a lovely time. Read more

Omdat het verhaal van de hak op de tak springt is het opletten geblazen, want soms is het lastig te doorgronden of het de realiteit of David’s hersenspinsels zijn waar we naar zitten te kijken. Dat draagt wel bij aan het kijkplezier.
