Reader, I saved him

IndieWire takes a look at 'The Alternate 2011: Who Nearly Directed Or Starred In The Most Notable Movies Of The Year?' and includes a good summary of both Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights:

Finally, while not strictly speaking a 2012 film in the U.S, Andrea Arnold's adaptation of "Wuthering Heights" has played festivals and been released in Britain, so we'll include it here, if only because it's had a particularly meandering route to the screen. Originally set to be directed by John Maybury ("Love is the Devil"), it originally had Natalie Portman attached as Cathy, before Abbie Cornish replaced her, with Michael Fassbender landing the role of Heathcliff. The pair dropped out when Maybury left (although Fassbender would scratch his Brontë itch with "Jane Eyre," which, incidentally, was to initally star Ellen Page in the title role), and "The Girl With The Pearl Earring" helmer Peter Webber took over, with the less impressive pair of Ed Westwick and Gemma Arterton in the lead roles. When Arnold nabbed the directing gig, she stripped it down, with virtual unknowns taking all the parts. (Oliver Lyttelton)

Jane Eyre 2011 makes it to number 10 of The Daily Californian's Top 10 Films of the Year:

10. “Jane Eyre”
A girl stumbles across the wild and stormy moors, gasping for breath. This is pretty much a requisite scene in all adaptations of “Jane Eyre,” but rarely are we thrown into it in the first few minutes of film, as in this latest interpretation from Cary Fukunaga.
Fukunaga takes great liberties in adapting the classic novel for film. One of the most adapted novels of all time, “Jane Eyre” has never been this manipulated. Throwing chronology to the wind, it begins with a fully grown Jane at the height of despair, with occasional flashbacks to situate us in the narrative. Key characters are done away with, and others are given larger roles, but all with good reason. After all, any movie with more screen time for Judi Dench (who plays the venerable Mrs. Fairfax) is a better one.
Dench’s isn’t the only great performance offered. Mia Wasikowska’s take on Jane is definitely the best yet, capturing the essence of the heroine’s trembling defiance in just a sideways glance. It’s also a wonder how they were able to pull off the “plain and little” look on a usually stunning Wasikowska, but with her small frame and precise features, it worked. (Michelle Ma)

And it also makes it to number 8 of Thompson on Hollywood's Top 10:

8. "Jane Eyre" - Cary Fukunaga
Cary Fukunaga's subtly elegant period drama is the best of a long line of adaptations of Charlotte Bronte's romantic classic (adapted here by Moira Buffini). Mia Wasikowska is pitch-perfect as the clear-eyed, lonely, self-reliant orphan governess who falls in love with mercurial employer Mr. Rochester (Michael Fassbender in yet another masterful 2011 performance). She saves him, is the point. (Anne Thompson)

Himal features writer Naiyer Masud, who seems to be a Brontëite:

‘Inspiration mushkil se milta hain,’ he says. (It is difficult for me to find inspiration.) Some writers that do inspire him are Franz Kafka, Emily Brontë and Edgar Allan Poe, in addition to Fyodor Dostoevsky and Jean Paul Sartre. (Meher Ali)

Critic Dinah Birch seems to be a Brontëite too, according to BBC News:

Birch has a background in Victorian literature and is an expert on Charles Dickens and the Brontë sisters.
