Polanski has crafted something that already feels like a classic film, beautiful to look at, combining accurate period detail with a certain gothic expressionism and brimming with earthy characters and high drama.

The unspoken sense of youthful post-traumatic holocaust syndrome shock and awe in Polanski's Twist is as palpable as the murky stench and appalling human misery of Dickens' chaotic London streets.

Polanski's film is not a bad adaptation, and it may be a fine way to introduce children to the classic story. But it is not exactly a definitive version of that story.

Oliver Twist is an affecting and refreshing adaptation of Dickens seminal work from a master director.
September 30, 2005
Poignant and primal, Roman Polanski's splendid adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic pricks the heart and the conscience.
August 29, 2013
A smorgasbord of urban decay, social disorder, and class conflict imbues the film with a potent sensuality

In Oliver Twist, it's the viewer who is punished.
September 30, 2005
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.
September 01, 2009
The horrors are comfily buttressed by storybook polish
September 30, 2005
A grounded and unusually matter-of-fact adaptation.
September 30, 2005
Oliver Twist is a lovely, tony picture, but it isn't exactly essential.
September 30, 2005
It's noble, high-minded and safe, and I can't help thinking that I would have preferred an audacious but honest failure.
