About this movie

Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland), Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds) and Academy Award winner Judi Dench (Shakespeare in Love) star in acclaimed director Cary Fukunaga daring new adaptation of the timeless romance. When orphaned governess Jane Eyre (Wasikowska) arrives at imposing Thornfield Hall, she's intrigued by her brooding wealthy employer, Rochester (Fassbender). His dark moods and the strange occurrences in the house lead her to discover a terrible secret that he had hoped to hide from her forever. Critics proclaim this captivating, sensual film is beautiful. A splendid example of how to turn a beloved work of classic literature into a movie." (A.O. Scott, The New York Times)

The film was spoiled for me because they kept going in and out of the past. I'd rather view Jane Eyre story in chronological order, not one scene in the present, the scene in her past. They didn't focus much on her childhood.

Loved it till the end where they stopped it short compared to the book. I watched it in the cinema and there was a lot of grumbling about it to the point I went home and read the ending to see what I'd missed as wasnt how I remembered either lol

One of my favourite adaptations, I just find it a bit too sentimental and short for my tastes
