Product: Becoming Jane [Blu-ray] (2007)
Rating: 3.0
Well acted but I didn't buy the story
I thought the movie was well acted and the setting picturesque but the script was far from fascinating, and the overall story line was not believable to me. I think Jane Austin's personal life is something that will always be largely unknown because that's the way she wanted it. Most of her letters were destroyed and any romances she may have had -- that she must have had -- were kept private. (Spoiler Ahead) I don't accept the idea that this woman who wrote so insightfully about romance had almost no experience with it in her life. My guess would be Jane Austin had more than a few men in her life and did not spend her life pining for Mr. Lefroy.
