Casting is always so important to movies and this film made two casting mistakes - Mr. Rochester and his locked up wife. Both are too young and too 'handsome'. Where's the animal magnetism of Mr. Rochester and the bone-chilling insanity of the wife?

Best Jane Eyre Movie Ever Made?
Saw the wonderful Jane Eyre yesterday - its first day of release. I must salute anybody who's trying to produce and direct a Victorian classic, particularly on any of the Bronte sisters' works. I love the movie, but can't agree with The Globe and Mail's film critic that this is the best Jane Eyre movie ever made.

I was surprised to find a full-house cinema with a lot of younger audiences as well. Charlotte Bronte would have been pleased!
