• Here we go again. Let's rewrite history using modern day morality to define the dialogue shall we? This doesn't work, never did work and won't ever work in the future. Writers/producers/directors please take note. No wonder the cinema was near enough empty, people know to give this kind of tripe a wide berth. Factually, very little about this 're-imagining' of the Dickens/Ternan tale fits. Its all topsy turvy and all the more unbelievable for being so. The story as told here has no dramatic tension, fails to use the real emotional 'turning points' (and instead moves rapidly past them as if they were embarrassing episodes not to be referenced like nervous farts at a Premier). Couldn't get out of the auditorium fast enough. Consign to bin.
