Critic Reviews for Oliver Twist
All Critics (3) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (0)
All in all, Oliver Twist is a distinct credit to the movies. It is one of the few really great pictures of this or any other year.
Never has little Jackie Coogan given a more appealing performance than in his newest picture, Oliver Twist.
Audience Reviews for Oliver Twist
Coogan is kind of a cute kid, and having a movie with Chaney is always good, but this wasn't the best movie of this kind I've seen. I actually haven't read the book, maybe it is boring, but the movie could have been better than it was.
Super Reviewer
Not a bad adaptation for its time. Jackie Coogan was fresh from his success in "The Kid," and the film is obviously tailored as his showcase. Lon Chaney appears in typically elaborate makeup as Fagin, but has little to do beyond hobbling around with a heavy stoop. The story seems heavily compacted (Oliver's acclimation into Fagin's pickpocket gang is almost instantaneous), but it hits the necessary notes. Coogan is as cute and vulnerable as one expects him to be, and is indulged with one unnecessary scene where he pantomimes the gait of an old man.
