Oliver Twist Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Polanski's deft adaptation proves that there's still life in that well-worn story of a boy who beats the odds.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
As much as I'm loath to say it, this is one literary adaptation where I can sadly say with certainty I do not want more.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
It's noble, high-minded and safe, and I can't help thinking that I would have preferred an audacious but honest failure.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Great expectations are unavoidable when Roman Polanski takes on a Charles Dickens classic. Alas, his version of Oliver Twist fails to live up to them.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A grounded and unusually matter-of-fact adaptation.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Poignant and primal, Roman Polanski's splendid adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic pricks the heart and the conscience.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
Nitpickers may squawk over missing elements, but the film doggedly hits on the book's big themes: the power of innocence, the cruelty of class.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Oliver Twist as presented by Roman Polanski is pretty much the same as Oliver Twist presented by anyone else, except perhaps it's a bit duller.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
As handsomely made, well-acted, dramatically unflinching and heartfelt as it is, Polanski's Oliver is a movie more admirable than emotionally affecting.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Polanski could have made Oliver as haunting as his 2002 Academy Award-winning film, The Pianist. Yet his new effort falls just short.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
The film is worth seeing, but it won't hold a cherished place in your moviegoing memories.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It's as though Polanski had set the story's foolproof motor on cruise control and left the room; the tale is well told but told without personality.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
Perhaps it will take a school trip to encourage kids to see Oliver Twist, but that's one permission slip parents should sign.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
Seeing Polanski's version of this most Dickensian of all Charles Dickens' tales, I felt full and wanted no more versions (please, sir!), having now seen the definitive one.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
The film is high on production values but short on heart.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Polanski's Oliver Twist is craftsmanly and relatively unsentimental.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Polanski's film is visually exact and detailed without being too picturesque.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
When was the last time you walked out of a Polanski picture talking mostly about the sets and music?
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Technically accomplished and frequently engaging.
