[TIFF Review] ‘THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD’ – Dev Patel is back in top form with a whimsical big fish tale
THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD is the perfect Sunday afternoon picnic film. A perfectly friendly trip to a corner of Dickens’ work that’s nothing more than a wistful form of entertainment. If this is what it’s like to adapt classic British literature with modern values, sign Iannucci up to direct more projects just like this, please.
