Title: Very disappointed
Product review: Having read the book multiple times and viewed several of the previous movie versions of this brilliant story, I must admit that there was much lacking in this presentation. There was so little character development as to draw me in to truly empathise with our heroine. Her earlier years at both Gateshead and even more so at Lowood were what shaped her character and ideals. To have the relationship with Helen Burns so lightly touched upon was a shameful neglect of the story. Many other pieces of the story fell flat as well, notable the relationship with St. John and his sisters. Understandably she felt indebted to their kindness, but there was no build up of (family) connection that it made you wonder why she was generous in a financial way when she inherited Mr. Eyre's wealth. Too many sketchy details and too much jumping back and forth in time leave this movie with much to be desired.
