Franco Zeffirelli (Romeo and Juliet) and screenwriter Hugh Whitemore strip away a bit of the familiar romanticism of Charlotte Bronte's novel and come up with a more plain but somehow quite interesting film adaptation. Charlotte Gainsbourg (The Cement Garden) makes for an oddly appealing but deliberately unlovely version of Jane (previous actresses have included Susannah York and Joan Fontaine), and William Hurt is excellent as an equally revised Rochester, brusque and self-involved but not the totem of torment and charisma we've seen before. The story clings to the usual chapters in the book, but with Zeffirelli shaping the principal characters to reflect their cautious perceptions of one another--rather than to a Hollywood notion of grand passion--the film has a wonderful accessibility. Great support from Joan Plowright, Billie Whitelaw, Anna Paquin, and the rest of the cast. --Tom Keogh

 An Excellent Movie! April 13, 2009
Linda C. Leonard (Omaha, Ne United States)
An excellent version of the very true story of a woman who is in each life of every individual. It is basically about her true spirit in a fight with life to keep going. The film is very vivid, right down to the furnishings in the room. The acting is very perfect in the way that the book describes that they felt.
 Terrible Representation March 5, 2009

I have read the book "Jane Eyre" multiple times, it is, in fact, my favorite book. At first, I thought that the movie had done a pretty good job of portraying the story, however, as it got further into it, they took several liberties that were absolutely ridiculous. They changed things that it was unnecessary to change, such as when and how Jane met St. John Rivers. If you love the book as I do, I would absolutely not suggest watching this movie.
 Too Short to Do the Book Justice February 20, 2009

Although the movie was well done, because the movie was under 1 1/2 hours, it did not do the book justice at all. There wasn't enough time for character development between Jane and Mr. Rochester so when they said they loved each other, it just didn't seem believable.
Boring, don't bother February 13, 2009

Nothing in the book implied that Jane was sickly looking. No romance, no heat, no passion. Boring. Tepid at best. Jane is supposed to be plain looking, not like she has a perpetual cold. It failed to capture Jane's intelligence. and the scene up in the attic after the wedding... what was that! This is a terrible rendition of the book. it's my better in my head!
