Happiness seems to have found Jane at last, but could Mr. Rochester's terrible secret be about to destroy it forever?
PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"A splendid example of how to tackle the daunting duty of turning a beloved work of classic literature into a movie (...) Mr. Fukunaga's film tells its venerable tale with lively vigor and an astute sense of emotional detail" (A. O. Scott: The New York Times) ----------------------------------------
"After 160 years, this is a story that still grips the heart and the mind (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Lou Lumenick: New York Post) ----------------------------------------
"Fassbender (...) inhabits the glowering Rochester with erotic intensity and leavening wit, never letting the tight breeches and puffy shirts do his acting for him (...) Rating: ***(out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone) ----------------------------------------
"The newest adaptation of Jane Eyre is both faithful to Charlotte Brontė's classic and distinctively original (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Claudia Puig: USA Today) ----------------------------------------
"Has a few token thunderstorm-on-the-moors scenes but lacks a grand, mythological design. The movie is choppy and prosaic" (Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly) ----------------------------------------
