Great Expectations
1998
**½
Director: Alfonso Cuaron
Cast: Ethan Hawke, Gwyneth Paltrow, Anne Bancroft, Chris Cooper

A poor boy falls in love with a rich girl who always seems out of his league. This updated adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel is stylish and sophisticated but somewhat soulless. A fine cast.
