★★★★
– Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph

“[Dev] Patel is superb.”
★★★★
– Charlotte O’Sullivan, Evening Standard

“A fleet-footed and boisterously enjoyable Dickens adaptation that breathes new life into a well-worn story.”
★★★★
– Matt Maytum, Total Film

“Iannucci has made his most human film, an attempt to find something helpful, funny and above all positive to help us to navigate the sorry state of Britain of today.”
★★★★

“Iannucci deals deftly with the challenge.”
★★★★
– Brian VIner, Daily Mail

“A breezy, brilliant treat. Iannucci may have softened the bite of his comedy but replaces it with something remarkably optimistic and buoyant, telling a story as joyously relevant as it was a century-and-a-half ago.”
★★★★
