Curtain Call for Miss Austen
Once all her novels have been made into movies, it is hardly surprising that Miss Austen herself was made a heroine of another film. Would she be happy with this predicament? Absolutely not. She was a reticent figure, sitting quietly in the corner of the sitting room, making some notes to herself she would not show to anyone which after quite a long time she decided to publish and did not live to see the apex of her career.In other words if you want to see Miss Austen "becoming Jane" you may as well as miss the movie. It is however a charming period piece with a surprisingly decent cast (James McAvoy is getting better with every movie!) and nice even if purely imaginary plot. Some entertainement and some knowledge (very lightly treated!) for a nice Sunday evening.
