DVD review: Les Misérables

May 11th, 2013 No comments

Tom Hooper’s quasi-operatic mega-musical is loaded with major historical events, weighty themes, tragic deaths and symbolic rebirths, so it’s no wonder that the film version of Les Mis gets so exhausting, especially in the static, unspectacular second half.
