		Oliver is a 10-year-old orphan born into one of many Victorian workhouses who, after beatings and an apprenticeship at a coffin makers that was just as bad, runs away to London.
		Charles Dickens wrote "Oliver Twist" when he was in his twenties, which is incredible considering he writes with such authority about the abuses of children during the Victorian era.
		Oliver isn't a natural thief, and when he bolts after witnessing the boys steal a silk handkerchief from a man outside a bookstore and is caught by police, it's the bookstore owner who tells authorities the lad is innocent.

	Filmtracks: Oliver Twist (Rachel Portman)
		Oliver Twist: (Rachel Portman) Charles Dicken's first full novel was published in 1838, and as such, Oliver Twist is among the author's better known stories about early 19th-century London.
		Polanski's intent in remaking Oliver Twist once again was to place an emphasis on the humor and eccentricities of the larger-than-life characters rather than get caught up in the doom and gloom of the destitute side of life in London at time.
		While Oliver Twist hasn't proven to be the success that Polanski always has the potential of producing, Portman's score (performed with intent by the impressive City of Prague Philharmonic) is predictably solid in its intended place.

		Abandoned early in life, Oliver first seems doomed to life in a workhouse, where he is farmed out to a local undertaker where he regularly is underfed and mistreated.
		Oliver (Barney Clark) is far to plump and well fed to be an “orphan” or have spent time in the workhouse.
		It has to be remembered too that Oliver Twist although the title role, is by no means the main character and to elevate him would unbalance the entire story.

	DVD Times - Oliver Twist
		Roman Polanski’s slide into respectability continues with Oliver Twist and those of us who love his earlier works with a passion which borders on the indecent are likely to feel the same letdown that we felt upon watching The Pianist.
		“Oliver Twist” was apprentice work in some respects and is burdened with an excess of loose-threads-tying in the second half that betokens a young writer in a hurry.
		Oliver Twist, a film which should be rooted somewhere in his soul, is the most impersonal film that Polanski has ever made.

	Oliver Twist (2005): Reviews
		It's worth noting that Oliver Twist will likely be no Harry Potter at the box office, due in no small part to a lack of bombastic special effects and supernatural subplots, yet it's nearly as entertaining, even without the wizardry.
		Without Nancy and her demon lover, Polanski's Oliver Twist feels handsome, steady, and respectful; it has that touch of mummification which wins awards.
		The big surprise in Polanski's Oliver is the lack of a discernible personal stamp, especially from such a directorial master of the macabre.

	IGN: Oliver Twist (2005) Review
		Oliver's tutelage begins slowly, but when he is seen shadowing a scam by fellow pickpockets and mistakenly fingered as the culprit, he's brought up on charges before a magistrate.
		Contrasting spectacular vistas, fls are also appropriately deep and dark in certain interior scenes, as when a passed-out Oliver is plucked from a rural road and given soup by a kindly woman during his journey by foot to London.
		Oliver Twist is the latter, a timeless story nicely brought back to life here by Polanski and a gifted ensemble acting corps.

		And as if to prove it, the director propels his action up and down stairs, through dank streets, and even across rooftops, often in the dark or in the rain.
		The grimy, pint-size pickpockets Oliver falls in with have the crazed, hardened look of children ripped from childhood too soon, and their scaly handler, the sniveling Fagin (Ben Kingsley), is appropriately decayed, all bent of nose (with Semitic intimations) and mossy of teeth.
		When Fagin clutches Oliver, played by angelic-looking newcomer Barney Clark, in a gnarled gesture of possessiveness (and, in Kingsley's nuanced portrayal, warped love), the contrast between the rotten ''Jewishness'' of the old man and the Christian luminosity of the boy couldn't be more acute.
