Jane Eyre (2011)

Very moody violins.

This is faithful to the letter and spirit of the novel and well acted and well cast.  The choice to start the movie with Jane running away from Thornfield, without any explanation of where we are in the story, is a curious choice... and it doesn't work.  The beginning drags awfully, and it's not until we get to Mia Wasikowska and Judi Dench that it begins to pick up.
