"The Lowood sequence was a bit shorter than it needed to be, I thought, but that didn't bother me too much. I loved the incredible sense of *damp* that they brought out; the constant dripping water, the sniffling girls...and I liked that Brocklehurst was fat. Very deftly done, that. I do wish we'd seen Miss Temple, since she's the main reason Jane survived the school in the first place, and there really was very little explanation for Jane's transformation following Helen's death to her appointment there as a teacher.'
Totally agree--I said almost the same thing in my review. :)
I really liked the way they did Bertha. We can see her madness but it's not overdone. She's not in a padded room--it's actually quite comfortable, and Grace Poole seems like a gentle keeper.
