Freely adapted from a novel by Jane Austen, this period drama is set in the early 1800s, as a girl named Fanny (Hannah Taylor Gordon) is being raised by loving but desperately poor parents. Wanting a better life for Fanny, they send her away to live with her aunts, high-minded Mrs. Norris (Sheila Gish) and drug-addicted Lady Bertram (Lindsay Duncan), who share an estate called Mansfield Park. Fanny joins the family at Mansfield Park, which includes Lady Bertram's husband Sir Thomas (Harold

While this version plays somewhat fast and loose with the original story, and even more so with the heroine's character, it is still much more Jane Austen than not.
Mansfield Park is quick and funny, and a refreshing break from period-film stuffiness.
A witty, entertaining film.
It's alluring to see a costume drama that takes us inside the subtlest, most wrenching realities of money.
A fine addition to the filmed Austen canon.
Full of sparkling dialogue, witty asides, and top-drawer performances, Mansfield Park is a social satire wrapped inside a romantic comedy.
Wonderful book adaptation with strong female character.
Mansfield Park works because it not only comes from the novel...but also from Austen's letters and journals.
While Mansfield Park doesn't boast the high calibre Hollywood star wattage and gloss of Sense and Sensibility, it offers a more thought-provoking viewpoint.
...busy nothings add up to motion picture somethings in one of the year's most charming films.
Despite such occasional flaws...Mansfield Park is a welcome treat for Austen addicts.
A powerful portrait of a determined young woman's quest to remain true to the vastness of her spirit and soul.
An uneven but ultimately stirring adaptation from Canadian director Patricia Rozema.
Rozema's thoughtful pacing and deliberately modern spin on the tale keep the rot from setting in.
This is merely another attempt at making a high-class art film that can't come close to the spirit of the literary book it is based on.
Mansfield Park is a perfectly good adaptation, but it's trite.
Someone who knows Jane Austen's life and has also an experience of her books or the movies based on them ,can realise one thing for sure , that her novels are also based on her own life ,somehow . But this movie has more realistic elements of her season .Also has more action than other scripts and that makes it
