Directed by Armando Iannucci.
Starring Dev Patel, Aneurin Barnard, Peter Capaldi, Morfydd Clark, Daisy May Cooper, Rosalind Eleazar, Hugh Laurie, Tilda Swinton, Ben Whishaw, and Paul Whitehouse.

Dev Patel brings new life to the work of Charles Dickens in The Personal History of David Copperfield. From his charisma to his earnest way of acting, join our host EJ Moreno as he gushes about Patel’s work in the film. But it’s not just the acting that wins him over as the direction and earnest approach to the film wins him over as well. Check out what he says about this eccentric new film.

Watch the review below, and be sure to head on over to our YouTube channel for more videos and exclusive content…

From birth to infancy, from adolescence to adulthood, the good-hearted David Copperfield is surrounded by kindness, wickedness, poverty and wealth, as he meets an array of remarkable characters in Victorian England. As David sets out to be a writer, in his quest for family, friendship, romance, and status, the story of his life is the most seductive tale of all.

The Personal History of David Copperfield is out now in U.S. theaters.
