Hypable Movie Review: ‘Les Miserables’

Les Miserables‘s greatest strengths are also its greatest weakness in Tom Hooper’s muscular film adaptation of the classic 1862 Victor Hugo novel and eventual stage musical. Extraordinarily well-acted, often gorgeously shot, and finely sung, Les Miserables suffers under the weight of its own power in the latter half of an overly-long film.
