Becoming Jane Reviews

i loved it. It is an excellent movie. It portrays the customs of the time, tragically romantic.

That said, it's a mildly enjoyable film, although it has some very ludicrous moments (such as her punching Tom Lefory in the woods- really? Next up we'll be seeing Austen cat-fight video games!)
First off, THIS MOVIE IS COMPLETELY FICTIONAL. Jane Austen did have a brief flirtation with a man named Tom Lefroy, but she was certainly not secretly engaged to him, nor did they attempt to elope.

Doesn't try to be anything more than another period piece--even when the life of Jane Austen is inspiring enough to make a film for the ages.

Beautifully done and the surprise period piece favourite of that year. And, you know, James McAvoy.

Above average; good performances, but the story is inconsistent at times.

Becoming Jane is quite affecting. The story is more about how Jane be inspired rather than talking of her actual accomplished works.

A great romantic tale, of one of the most celebrated novelist of all time. You rarely every hear of Jane Austen's life, but see the movies based on her books. Anne Hathaway plays a great Jane, and James McAvoy is great once again.

Mildly entertaining, but at the same time rather irritating for a real Janeite. I'm pretty sure that Austen didn't base the Bennet family upon her own, certainly not as closely as this film would have you believe, and Lefroy has more of Wickham than Darcy in him. Towards the end, I was wondering why the film hadn't ended already, at least 20 minutes earlier.

I thought it was a great film, I loved it, Anne Hathaway, James McAvory, Julie Walters, James Cromwell and Maggie Smith played good parts, it's a great movie and I would love it on DVD

I loved this film. it was incredibly well acted by a suburb cast, the production and costume design is as exquisite as a Merchant/Ivory film and the story is terrifically engaging. It's incredibly romantic and bittersweet. I felt deep sadness for their loss. Why it only has a 57% from the critics, I can not understand. But the viewers gave it 74%. I give it 100%. See it if you like costume, sets, period, romance, sad stories and any of the actors in this film.
