The Personal History of David Copperfield review

Armando Iannucci both respects and reinvents the novel in a wonderfully entertaining adaptation full to bursting with fantastic comic performances.

The Personal History of David Copperfield review

A gentle period comedy that lacks Armando Iannucci's signature bite.

Steve Dinneen, City AM, 24th January 2020

David Copperfield adaptation is brilliantly inclusive

Dickens's story is very funny in The Thick Of It mastermind's hands with a bonus of wonderful casting.

The Personal History of David Copperfield review

This isn't a traditional, staid, by-the-numbers affair.

Review: The Personal History of David Copperfield

Dev Patel leads a vast ensemble cast that is the great strength of this adaptation.

Review - The Personal History of David Copperfield

It is a rollicking ride. A bit too rollicking, if I'm honest, careening through the 350,000 word novel at breakneck speed.

The Personal History of David Copperfield review

Satirist Armando Iannucci proves to be a perfect match for the ups and downs of the Dickens wordsmith in a buoyant and incredibly funny crowd-pleaser.

Benjamin Lee, The Guardian, 6th September 2019

The end of visiting hours is upon us as this perfect, bittersweet hospital drama reaches the end of its run. The personal lives of Kim, Den and Pippa criss cross with life and death on the wards, where there's a surprise appearance - a silent cameo from Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton, followed up by Hugh Bonneville as Pippa's ex. It seems everyone wants in on Getting On.
