Spectacular film! Exceptional Adaptation! Wonderful script! Beautiful cinematography! Superb acting! This is one of my all time favorite books and certainly my favorite movie adaptation of this book. This is Charlotte Bronte’s classic story of a poor governess who falls in love with her arrogant employer. Unfortunately, unknown to anyone, he is already married. When filming a book like Jane Eyre often so much has to be left out that the book is practically unrecognizable. Not so with this version. The length allows them to include a great deal that is usually cut. The two main actors, Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens, do an incredible job in their roles. While Stephens is the perfect mix of arrogant but handsome employer, Wilson portrays the perfect mix of the passion and vulnerability of Jane. They have wonderful chemistry on screen. Although there are several changes to the story, this one is definitely more true to the spirit of the book than many of its predecessors. Just be sure to set aside enough time to watch it straight through! *****
