So, as part of my whole “I WILL see more movies this year!” booked to see The Personal History of David Copperfield, in part because my cinephile friends Sarah from Caution Spoilers and K (from, uh, Glasgow), recommended it to me.

And it was an utter joy. A cast of pretty much Every Famous British Actor Alive, a charismatic lead in Dev Patel (who absolutely shines) and somehow managing to cram the whole thing into under two hours? I’m in.
