This is a fun and enjoyable movie. The weird comments by people who can't comprehend a non-white cast are baffling. If you can't enjoy a film because of the colour of actor's skin, that's your problem, not the film's.

Plot summary
A fresh and distinctive take on Charles Dickens’ semi-autobiographical masterpiece, The Personal History of David Copperfield, set in the 1840s, chronicles the life of its iconic title character as he navigates a chaotic world to find his elusive place within it. From his unhappy childhood to the discovery of his gift as a storyteller and writer, David’s journey is by turns hilarious and tragic, but always full of life, colour and humanity.

Ignore all the thinly veiled reviews
You never knew the 1850's was so multi cultural
I really wanted to like this but it just doesn't make it easy.
Let's start with the good bits.
1. It has some excellent actors in it.
Now on to the bad bits.
1. It's just so far removed from the novel , it's hard to see the logic of the rewrite.
2. You may be surprised as I was that the 1850's was just so multi cultural that it just ruins anything that is historic and removes the credibility.
3. It's just not as funny as it wants to be, it tries to be quirky and funny but is completely unsuccessful at both.
There are at least 16 million better things to watch or if you really want to experience Dickens , pick one of the classic Dickens productions Like Great Expectations.
Not Quite as Good as I'd Hoped...
Some profoundly eccentric characters but the performances seemed a little forced and the connection you need to carry them over the line was missing for the most part.
