Jane Eyre (2011)

Compelling and powerful adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s 1847 novel, directed by Cary Fukunaga. 

Mia Wasikowska stars in the title role, while Rochester is played by Michael Fassbender. Both of them are absolutely at the top of their game, delivering subtle and nuanced performances. 

There’s something highly believable about it – a gritty realism that’s often lost when revered classics are filmed.
