Also, Dickens's female characters are much improved, so all hail this showcase for the talent of Iannucci, a sly reminder that it's possible to be both a national treasure and a thorn in the establishment's side. Oct 4, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Everything rattles and zings like a pinball machine, and it's a bracing, entertaining, richly satisfying experience. Oct 2, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Iannucci has fun with the classic serial-turned-novel and throws in a bit of defiant color-blind casting for kicks, but it takes some getting used to a gentler, less biting Iannucci. Sep 13, 2019 | Full Review…

The meta-fiction may be overdone, but that and the director's feeling for tone create the expansive atmosphere in which a talented multiracial cast lead by Dev Patel can master everything from pure melodrama to high comedy. Sep 9, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

If this represents Iannucci at his softest and most heartfelt, it's far from an embarrassment, and at times, it's a balm. Sep 8, 2019 | Full Review…

But while the act of gracefully condensing this big book into a coherent movie is indeed impressive, the truth is that said movie does end up feeling a bit like glorified cliff's notes, albeit ones enlivened by Iannucci's gift for volleying banter. Sep 7, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

As public discourse skews ever more vicious, it's refreshing to watch the razor-sharp mind behind The Thick of It and The Death of Stalin tackle still depressingly timely issues of poverty and inequality with a distinctly compassionate tone. Oct 7, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The Personal History of David Copperfield may seem like an unnecessary literary adaptation from a director trying to prove his serious side, but rest assured, this as much of a fast paced comedy as Iannucci's previous work. Oct 3, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

The script feels like it was tested in a wind tunnel - while the use of farce as the plot's default register makes a virtue of the rush to get through everything that remains. Oct 3, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

At once Armando Iannucci's broadest and most stylistically ambitious film, David Copperfield is anchored by its top-notch ensemble cast, even if the biting humour feels somewhat hobbled by the stubbornly accessible approach. Oct 2, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
