Jane Eyre (2011).

We watched this one last night.

While the costumes and scenery and sets and people in it were gorgeous (Jane's braids FTW), ultimately, I felt like it was lacking. It's just a whole lot of story to jam into two hours. It was so, so condensed that rather than making me believe in this Jane and this Rochester, I felt like it relied on my prior knowledge of the characters and story to fill in the blanks, both in terms of emotion and storyline.

So, yeah. It was pretty and all, but I vastly preferred the 2006 Ruth Wilson/Toby Stephens miniseries.

You? Favorite adaptation?
