Cary Fukunaga directs a fiery and elegant adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's classic novel, and Mia Wasikowska delivers possibly the best portrayal of the title character ever.

Screenwriter Moira Buffini sticks pretty closely to the novel, and director Cary Fukunaga conjures a drab tone that nicely sets off the characters' violent but rigidly controlled passions. Dec 13, 2011 | Full Review…

The direction by Cary Fukunaga is real by-the-numbers rote. Oct 18, 2011 | Rating: 2/5

The new Jane Eyre is notably well-made in almost every respect and should you want to watch an adaptation of the story just now, highly recommendable. Sep 9, 2011 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

In approaching the material with respect, restraint and simple good taste, Fukunaga has created something strangely revelatory. Sep 8, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

This adaptation is balanced, crafted, beautifully acted, though for me without the thunderclap and lightning-bolt of passion. Sep 8, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Fukunaga has done a terrific job with Charlotte Bronte's 1847 classic. Despite its moorland setting it's fresh rather than bracing, highlighting the universality of the teenage Jane's feelings; this a film for all ages but particularly for young women. Feb 22, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Despite being only 21, Wasikowska displays a remarkable maturity as an actress and effortlessly inhabits her character... Jane's beauty comes from within and Wasikowska allows it to creep up on you. Nov 26, 2018 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

Fukunaga does a great job in making the action and emotions feel modern without updating the story to the present day. He's helped by Fassbender's excellent performance. Nov 5, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

What it does right it does very right. It is stunningly mounted, for example... But what it does wrong is fatal, and the error is this: it just isn't passionate or sexy enough. Aug 31, 2018 | Full Review…

Jane Eyre triumphs with a suitably bleak landscape and an excellent performance from Michael Fassbender, but the restrained tone lets it down. Aug 23, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The production design and costumes are indeed exquisite, as well as the absorbing Gothic atmosphere. However, the film lacks passion and mystery, while the dialogue sounds incredibly cheesy and Wasikowska is too apathetic for the role.
Super Reviewer
I liked this adaptation but I didn't find it better than other adaptations for some reason. The cinematography is very good and the acting is not bad but I just didn't see the chemistry between the leads. I think Wasikowska was missing passion from her role.
This movie is why I fell in love with Michael Fassbender. Ask me to marry you, Michael. I'd say, "yes"!
Typical "bonnet" drama. Not really my favourite, but not too bad for what it was. Only watched it because it was a free rental. If you like the story, you will probably enjoy this.
