Jane Eyre (2011)

British, Period
4.5 stars
Excellent movie. Too bad I never read the book, so I can’t compare. Poor Jane Eyre is almost the original Cinderella with her sad upbringing and station in life until she meets the dashing, but bittersweet Mr. Rochester. At times almost scary, certainly eerie, this version certainly beats those old, dusty PBS numbers. I’ve become a fan of the very talented star Mia Wasikowska after her turns in The Kids Are All Right, the star of Alice and Wonderland as well as her notable role in I Am Love. Michael Fassbender was perfect as the strange and mysterious Mr. Rochester. Excellent film.
