Mr. Pip


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes

Didn't know much about this one going in. Andrew Adamson makes a very different Great Expectations spliced throughout the story. This was pretty standard inspirational coming of age stuff with a unique setting. There are some harsh moments when the village is raided, which I was expecting but the aftermath moved me more than I expected it too. I'll put that down to a great performance from Xzannajah Matsi who imbued great empathy. Hugh Laurie is delightful as ever.
