John Hartl Seattle Times It's a weak-tea imitation at best. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 6, 2014 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald It's not a perfect film but it's not often you get one that sings literature's praises so eloquently, and that makes up for a lot. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 3, 2014 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety Mr. Pip doesn't start going seriously awry until its second half, when things get more eventful in ways that are compacted from the novel yet seem more disconnected. Nov 3, 2014 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) Adapted from the best-selling novel by Lloyd Jones, Mr. Pip is a movie coming from a good place, destined to take you to a bad place. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 17, 2020 Full Review Lynden Barber Limelight What [director Andrew Adamson] hasn't been able to do is pull off the story's central narrative shock in a way that preserves its unity rather than splitting it right down the middle. Jan 3, 2018 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue ... has difficulty finding cohesion among its divergent elements. Dec 31, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

ranazonce s If you have a naive notion that people are all good, please don't watch this film. If you know that humans are both evil and sublime, then watch this fascinating story of the dance between the two and perhaps understand as I did how neither time, distance, race, religion, color or creed makes a difference in what makes us all human Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Felix T Hugh Laurie was outstanding compared to what I was expected. The tone shift halfway through the flick left me cold. I had no desire to see such brutality. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/29/22 Full Review Indian c Mr Pip is shocking, brutal and disturbing. However, the plot does not start until the halfway mark, which may bore some viewers. There are also many unnecessary scenes that were likely added to pad Mr. Pip's runtime. The ending is also very bad, along with some atrocious performances. Final Score: 55/100 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/21 Full Review Audience Member I expected a heart-warming piece of fluff (not generally what I watch, but hey, Hugh Laurie). This movie is much more than that. Try "coming of age on a war-torn island with the help of Charles Dickens and a wonderful teacher." Which sounds a little sappy but most definitely is not. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member song language story and the point of it context Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Why didn't this film receive an "R" rating? I was disturbed by the level of violence, and turned the movie off when it seemed that more was on its way. This is a dvd I would not recommend viewing.
