Jane Eyre
horizontal line

Striking cinematography dominates this touching, heartbreaking, moor-dotted, well-acted film based on the 1847 Charlotte Brontë romantic classic in which an orphaned, strong-willed English girl (Amelia Clarkson) is rejected by her wealthy, neglectful, cruel aunt (Sally Hawkins); survives an education at a school run by an abusive, strict staff (Simon McBurney, et al.); overcomes her tragic, dark past when she is hired by a longtime housekeeper (Dame Judy Dench) to be the governess (Mia Wasikowska) for the French-speaking ward (Romy Settbon Moore) of a wealthy, secretive, handsome cynic (Michael Fassbender); and subsequently, is befriended by a kindhearted missionary (Jamie Bell) and his two sisters (Holliday Grainger and Tamzin Merchant) during the 1800s.
