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)

I thought this was a beautiful and wonderfully well done movie. I just finished the novel and wished the movie could have stayed more true to the book. There were several things left out, not drastic, but they made a great adaption of a 500 page book. If only this movie could have been 5 hours long, haha.

during the reading the novel I was crying together with Jane...I fell l in love together with Jane...I'm remember 1980 th movie. I love those production, maybe because I was same age like Jane. Costumes, music castle, nature -incredible. much better than 1996 production. still I wanted see more pure and beautiful love and harmony between Jane and Edward. good job anyway.

This movie totally blew me away. The casting and acting were spot on and the music and set designs were gorgeous. I love this movie more than every other Pride and Prejudice movies combined, which says a lot about the film. I'd never read the book before watching the movie though after watching this film I certainly will. Truly a masterpiece.
