Review of Becoming Jane (2007) by Chris V — 25 Apr 2009

I put it on expecting to fall asleep, expecting to be uninterested, expecting Anne Hathaway's accent to numb my brain to the point of blacking out. Instead I was pretty well captivated. The writers deserve the majority of the credit but, as a period piece, some considerable praise should go to the combined efforts of actors, directors, set and costume designers, and photographers because it was meticulously chronistic.
