THE ASTOR REVIEW

A tonally perfect adaptation of the canonical novel by Charlotte Bronte, Fukunaga’s Jane Eyre is aesthetically breathtaking. Wasikowska’s Jane and Fassbender’s Rochester do justice to the characters and what can only be described as stunning art direction tells a very detailed visual story. A fine film and an accomplishment in literary adaptation. TJ
