“Masterpiece Theater and then some. Not sure yet if that’s a good thing or not.”
“Wonderfully done. The acting was superb.”
“Well, the Brontes sure know how to tell a story. Lovely retelling of this lovely, moving tale. Fassbender was not as convincing as Wasikowska, but still a beautiful experience.
“A beautiful rendering of the novel, but Jane was certainly the star and a lot more appealing than him.”
“Perfect in every way. Magnificently directed, screenplay, cinematography, editing acting and score. And the costumes - oh my god. Thanks so much for bringing it to us.” Jeanne Krier
“Finally a film that hits all the bases.”
“So very well done!”
“While I loved the story and the look of the movie, the flashbacks were confusing to someone who is not completely familiar with the book.”
“Judi Dench is an INTERNATIONAL treasure.”
“The best JANE EYRE I have ever seen and I’ve seen a few. Literate, faithful to the novel in spirit if not in narrative structure. And how wonderful to hear the English language commanded instead of abused.”
“Really good film.”
“Technically perfect. Emotionally a bit cool, but effectively executed. Jane wins over hearts the way she did Rochester’s.”
“Nicely done – small point - could they have found a more subtle way of conveying Jane’s sexual awakening (or at least curiosity) than having her ogle the 19th Century centerfolds?”
“Initially I questioned why another film of JANE EYRE, but this was worth it.”
“Great photography! Time went fast.”
“Filming is beautiful, the costumes beautiful. Jane’s feminism was more pronounced in the book.”
“Beautifully shot! Mia was terrific, where did she come from? Michael was terrific too. And of course Dame Judy Dench was marvelous as always. I really like the use of flashbacks to tell the story. The editing was done very well.”
“Loved the restructuring of the novel as a series of flashbacks – really rejuvenates the story!!! Great casting, gorgeous cinematography and a good addition to 18 previous JANE EYRES- hard not to remember many as you’re watching, and this one lives on the shoulders of many before. Brava Moira Buffini!!”
