Les Misérables
An adaptation of the successful stage musical based on Victor Hugo's classic novel set in 19th-century France. Jean Valjean, a man imprisoned for stealing bread, must flee a relentless policeman named Javert. The pursuit consumes both men's lives, and soon Valjean finds himself in the midst of the student revolutions in France.
Critics Sentiment
Fantine sings I Dreamed a Dream after losing everything
Javert becomes police chief and suspects Valjean's identity
The film soars from Russell Crowe's vocally limited introduction as Javert to Anne Hathaway's transcendent I Dreamed a Dream performance.
Les Misérables delivers an emotionally overwhelming experience that peaks with Anne Hathaway's Oscar-winning performance but suffers from relentless pacing and uneven vocal performances. Critics praised the ambitious live-singing approach and spectacular production values while noting the film's exhausting emotional intensity. The adaptation succeeds as a cinematic spectacle that captures the musical's power despite some casting limitations.
