CRITICS OF "Becoming Jane"

Movie Views

Even though it looked great and was moderately engaging, something was also always missing.

February 19, 2008

Resource

Ebert & Roeper

Not only is that a huge stretch of the facts, it makes for a dull and overly familiar melodrama.

August 14, 2007

Times-Picayune

With a spot-on accent and altogether charming performance, Hathaway makes another convincing statement that she has grown, as a woman and as an actress.

August 14, 2009

Wall Street Journal

Austen comes off here more as stenographer than writer.

Laramie Movie Scope

A dull exercise in deconstructing Jane Austen's life to provide a life experience basis for her novels.

Movie Metropolis

...there's a feeling with Becoming Jane that we have seen it all before.... Many times.

February 11, 2008

Resource

Associated Press

Becoming Jane becomes a rather ordinary, though sporadically entertaining, game of dress-up.

August 10, 2007

Premiere Magazine

"The reality of love's disappointments enriches the film's heroine, who never married in real life, and brings a 200-year-old figure into living focus."

November 03, 2016

Resource

TIME Magazine

Hathaway never makes us think the woman could write anything more complex than a diet book.

August 10, 2007

Resource

Chicago Reader

This never rises above a date movie, but it's functionally literate (the lovers have some pleasant banter about the realistic merits of Tom Jones) and features a fine supporting turn from Ian Richardson.
