The 2011 adaptation of this gothic tale of woe should serve as a model for such future endeavors. All of the magnificent tension between convention and passion has been perfectly translated from page to film. The novel’s complicated plot is beautifully interpreted, making it palatable and accessible without sacrificing any of its substance. This classic story teems with conflict as a poor, plain governess must decide whether to settle for less or to trust in a divine plan: a decision we all must make.
