Customer Reviews

Jane Eyre, a masterpiece

This is in fact a miniseries not a book. My favorite version of Jane Eyre I've seen. And I have seen a few. Toby Stephen is too handsome to play Rochester, but he does it so well I will excuse it. ;) Ruth Wilson is a perfect Jane. Showing the different sides to her. Not all sharp lines and polite manners. But a thinking, feeling and imperfect character. If you want a lovely retelling that is wonderful to sit down with a cup of tea and a warm blanket, can't do better than this version. Glad I decided to buy it so I can watch it over and over again.

Best Jane Eyre

This is the best version of Jane Eyre you can get. Accurate to the book. Great acting.
