Jane Eyre 2011 reviews:
The Film Pilgrim:
Fukunaga injects life and spirit in to a well-known classic without resorting to any unnecessary anachronistic tricks. Like his debut film, the dramatic thriller Sin Nombre, this film is bursting with visual style. Both were shot by cinematographer Adriano Goldman, who scores some amazingly beautiful images here. Much of it is filmed in dutifully low, moody light. Within the walls of Thornfield, light streaks in only through a parted curtain or a lit candle. However, in moments of joy or splendor for its characters, the screen radiates with color and perfectly executed sun flares.
All of the actors are in top form here. Wasikowska is a perfect choice for the part of Jane. She is pretty, but not in a remarkable or glamorous way, and is easily made to look plain. (...)
Jane Eyre is quite a wondrous achievement. In a time when even the most traditional stories are expected to be sexy or given a modern twist, this film is quite secure in its time and place. It chooses to orient the viewer exactly where they should be, using only a more modern filmmaking style to distinguish itself. (Stephanie Huettner)
Express & Star:
In a bold new feature version of Jane Eyre, director Cary Joji Fukunaga and screenwriter Moira Buffini infuse a contemporary immediacy into Charlotte Brontë’s timeless, classic story. Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender star in the iconic lead roles of the romantic drama, the heroine of which continues to inspire new generations of devoted readers and viewers.
