Wonderful, colorful, funny, poignant, beautifully realized version of a strange, enchanting and enchanted novel. (

Good actors, good sets, good costumes. The magical CGI was obtrusive. If I had not read the book first, I would have enjoyed this more. Since I have, though, I just want to reread the book to get the mistaken choices in the adaptation out of my head.

The actor who played Mr. Norrel was exceptional in his ability to convey emotion, and the northern English accents were a treat. (
