	Author	Review
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"After 160 years, this is a story that still grips the heart and the mind (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"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"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"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)"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"The newest adaptation of Jane Eyre is both faithful to Charlotte Brontë's classic and distinctively original (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"Has a few token thunderstorm-on-the-moors scenes but lacks a grand, mythological design. The movie is choppy and prosaic"	NEU
