Product: Becoming Jane [Blu-ray] (2007)
Rating: 4.0
Sweet, sad film
OK. So it isn't historically accurate. OK so Anne Hathaway is American and she's too tall to play Jane Austen. I will be buying this film the minute it comes out because I almost irrationally loved it the two times I saw in in the theatre. The supporting cast is excellent, the Ireland location stunning and the soundtrack lovely. I will, however, be buying this film because James McAvoy makes everyone and everything around him in this movie, better. He is a gifted actor and you can't help but fall in love with him and his character in this film. You know going in that there will not be a happy ending in the "romantic" sense...but the journey is sad and sweet. It is just a lovely film.
