Another unattractive Estella

Wow, that's harsh. I found adult Estella to be absolutely beautiful. She isn't the cookie cutter beauty admired in today's society, but she has an air about her and very lovely features and certainly in the period in which the story is set she would have been considered very handsome.

Holliday Grainger is a stereotypical 'english rose' pale, perfect skin, red lips. She may mot be a stick insect with bleached hair extensions like what is stereotypically attractive now but she looks how Dickens probably imagined her.

Really? I thought she was stunning, especially when we first see adult Estella

I think Julianne Moore is gorgeous and I think this Estella is pretty, but she's not that cruel beauty I pictured reading it. Despite the modernization and major changes I still think the Ethan Hawke/Gwyneth Paltrow version best captures the intense drama I felt reading it. I would have probably cast someone more like Imogen Poots, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Considering you prefer boys, why should we care WHAT you think?

Excuse me? Take that back.
Estella is gorgeous in this film, I couldn't take my eyes off her.

Estella is exactly like she's described in the book. She isn't supposed to be drop dead gorgeous, some people seem to forget that. Pip isn't supposed to be really good looking either as I recall.

"Don't they know they're making love to one already dead?!"

Love Les Miserables!!!
