(08/10/2007, p.48, Owen Gleiberman): "BECOMING JANE has a burnished feminine sadness, and the director, Julian Jarrold, gives it a creamy-dark visual flow....Hathaway makes you feel her lust for words..." -- Grade: B

| Pros |
Beautiful scenery, actors, and costumes. |
| Cons |
Slow, uninteresting plot, and ending does not justify the means. (Play on words intentional.) |
| Bottom Line |
Watch this only if you are a Jane Austen fan or studying her works. Not an interesting movie, more of a loosely based but boring biography. |

| Pros |
Anne Hathaway's acting. The struggles of Jane. |
| Cons |
It is confusing in places about who is who. |
| Bottom Line |
I recommend this movie to any one who loves Jane Austen's stories. |

| Pros |
The casting, production design, locations and costumes are good. Some high moments. |
| Cons |
It's a novelization of a brief episode in a life. |
| Bottom Line |
While it's interesting, and an amusing idea, don't take this as canon about Jane Austen's life. |
| Pros |
Terrific period drama and brilliant casting. |
| Cons |
None. |
| Bottom Line |
This is a great film for all lovers of period British films and Austen fiction. |
