Charlotte Brontë’s literary classic is revitalised by 'Sin Nombre' director Fukunaga. With a subtle restructure of the novel’s narrative and using mostly natural light to accentuate the harshness of the setting, this is arguably the best cinematic adaptation of Brontë’s novel. Mia Wasikowska ('The Kids Are All Right') and Michael Fassbender ('Fish Tank') excel as the film’s eponymous heroine and her tortured admirer Mr. Rochester, while Judi Dench offers strong support as Mrs Fairfax.
