Advantages: This is Jane Eyre as it should be

Disadvantages: Full version of the book, with minor enhancements

The finest Jane Eyre production I've seen, from allegedly the finest novel written in the English Language.

The production stayed mostly true to the text, with some interesting elaborations that enhanced the overall story of love and inner virtue.

The actors who played Jane and Rochester were just perfect. Some very good chemistry and Jane was not played by someone with beauty inappropriate to the character, but with the right level of innate character.
Her acting is all facial expressions in such a role, but she managed it perfectly.

Consequently, we are witness to her various tests of character-building exposures to various families and scenarios, all captured sensitively and subjectively.

The production simply never tires, and finally we see a really strong rendition of the quest that Jane Eyre must travel down before she can accept a level of happiness that she can feel is right. Not only this, but the subtle feminist themes and strong nature of her character, become relevant again for all us modern viewers.

I think Charlotte would approve!
