Jane Eyre

CriticsCritics: 95
AudienceAudience: 7.5

After a harsh childhood, a young governess finds work at a remote, gloomy estate. She grows close to its brooding master, but strange events and secrets within the house threaten their growing happiness and force her to confront difficult choices.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like brooding gothic romances, powerful performances, and classic black-and-white drama; Not for you if you want a complete, nuanced adaptation with leisurely character development.
