A mousy governess who softens the heart of her employer soon discovers that he's hiding a terrible secret.
"Based on the classic novel of the same name by Charlotte Brontë, this is considered one of the most effective film adaptations of 'Jane Eyre'. Director Cary Joji Fukunaga ('Sin Nombre') achieves a movie that is neither rigidly faithful to the original material, nor an unjustified radical update. With solid direction of actors, Mia Wasikowska ('Alice in Wonderland') shines in the lead role, accompanied by a stellar cast including Michael Fassbender, Judi Dench, Sally Hawkins and Jamie Bell."
