Becoming Jane

Who's in it? Anne Hathaway, James McAvoy, Julie Walters, Maggie Smith
What's it about? It’s a biographical portrait of a pre-fame Jane Austen and her romance with a young Irishman, Tom LeFroy.
What type of film is it? Romantic Drama
Is it any good? Yes. Anne Hathaway is really coming into her own in Hollywood and seems to have that rare quality which allows her to be totally believable in whatever role she takes on. Here, as Jane Austen - a controversial casting choice according to some people - her English accent is spot on and her smouldering love for LeFroy is utterly intoxicating. A must see movie.
