Great Expectations (2012 film)
British drama. With the help of a generous stranger, the poor orphan Pip tries everything to win the heart of the rich, cold-blooded Estella.
As a boy, Pip is made a plaything for haughty young Estella by eccentric Miss Haversham. When circumstances enable Pip to become a gentleman, he hopes to be able to woo wealthy Estella, but both are pawns in a larger game.
Sumptuous and star-studded adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic, from 蜜芽传媒 Films.
