In this Dickens adaptation, orphan Pip discovers through lawyer Mr. Jaggers that a mysterious benefactor wishes to ensure that he becomes a gentleman. Reunited with his childhood patron, Miss Havisham, and his first love, the beautiful but emotionally cold Estella, he discovers that the elderly spinster has gone mad from having been left at the altar as a young woman, and has made her charge into a warped, unfeeling heartbreaker.
Editor's Verdict
"Great Expectations is a classic drama/romance adaptation of Dickens' novel. While it has a holiday release and the detected elements mention 'Wishes,' the core narrative, setting, and themes are entirely independent of the Christmas season. There are no significant Christmas elements that drive the plot or setting."
