Review of Becoming Jane (2007) by Robyn M — 05 Nov 2012

This is a film that would have benefited from an ambivalent ending, because, aside from the fact that we know she ends up the Western World's highest selling female author the film wasn't actually about that.

The film was about the journey toward it. To have left us hanging when, perhaps, she was leaving Lefroy or back in her stiflingly quiet house would have been much more effective in terms of the story and strengthened the film.

It simply is not a happy ending but they tried their damned well hardest to make it one.
