Director Cary Fukunaga does a good job of keeping our emotions on edge with great music, beautiful photography, and nice pacing.  Miss Wasikowska’s Jane is strong without being defiant and plain without being dowdy.  Mr. Fassbender as Rochester is smoldering, and yes, tortured.

A lot of guys will refuse to see this “chick flick” — instead opting for an action movie that will leave you dizzy from a harrowing car chase rather than emotion.  Let me give you something to think about: This is a Victorian era film.  The characters’ wild desires are suppressed throughout the movie. The pent-up sexual tension is passed right along to the audience, an aphrodisiac of sorts — why not take advantage. Or, you could go see that car chase movie — zoom! bang! crash! — but you should know: car chases give us a HEADACHE!

A great story, good acting and beautiful scenery = QQQq
