Airy fairy?

Jane Eyre (2011)

Based on the novel of the same name this adaptation from director Cary Joji Fukunaga stars Mia Wasikowska, Michael Fassbender and Judi Dench. A young girl works as a governess and falls in love with the master of the house.

This is a really great adaptation that really captures a great atmosphere and uses some amazing scenery for a backdrop. As someone who has not read the novel I was pleasantly surprised by the plot which contains a number of interesting themes that were well before their time and is more than just a simple romance. There are some good performances from the cast and all in all this is an adaptation well worth watching.

5/5
