The Personal History of David Copperfield
masterfully tells the story of Charles Dickens’ remarkable character David Copperfield, giving the tale new life for a cosmopolitan age with a diverse ensemble cast of stage and screen actors from across the world. Iannucci and co-writer Simon Blackwell have crafted a story of a man whose rogue spirit carries him through a colorful life of poverty and opulence. The film follows David, a burgeoning young writer, from orphaned infancy to adulthood as he befriends a collection of eccentric characters on a journey of love, acceptance, and self-discovery in Victorian England.
This movie is ultimately just there. Barely kept my interest and not necessarily because it was a bad movie. It just really didn't hook the viewer. Just kind of told its story and moved on. You pretty much forget that you watched it five minutes after you are done.
I wouldn't really recommend anyone bother with this. I believe its supposed to come out in August now but showed up online so I checked it out. But it really was not worth my time at all.
