- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A delightful experience."
-
"As this wonderful adaptation reminds us, Dickens endures mostly because of his characters."
-
"The actors assembled for Nicholas Nickleby are not only well cast, but well typecast. Each one by physical appearance alone replaces a page or more of Dickens' descriptions"
-
"Although Nicholas Nickleby occasionally evidences a simplicity that resembles a Junior Scholastic production, the movie's enthusiasm is contagious."
-
"McGrath has managed to turn Dickens into a cozy date movie. When was the last time anybody could make that claim?"
-
"This mid-19th century tale of survival after the death of a parent is still compelling today, and its message of strength and the importance of family continues to resonate."
-
"A triumph of intelligent adaptation. It shows again how well the great Victorian storyteller translates to film, and makes enjoyable use of a generally first-rate cast."
