Reviews for Jane Eyre
It's difficult to watch the film without considering aspects of authorship, but if you can, there's a very good film underneath.
A well-constructed piece of studio work, with vivid black-and-white cinematography under matte painting skies that creates a turbulent, oppressive mood.
...that this Jane Eyre is more Orson Welles's movie than co-star Joan Fontaine's or director Robert Stevenson's may be a blessing in disguise.
