A young Jane Austen (Anne Hathaway) is attempting to do the unthinkable, marry for love.
This was the most heart-wrenching movie I have ever seen. I mean it was good but wow. Be aware that they took some very fictional liberties with the story only having a few letters to go on. Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy who played her love interest, Tom LeFroy, were both excellent. The story also wove in parts of her books. There were only a couple I could pick out being a fan of Jane Austen in movie version only. I believe I read Northanger Abby in High School but I could tell you absolutely nothing about the story.
My favorite parts of the movie:
her sister and fiance meeting in their night clothes
playing cricket
the dancing
Jane playing the piano
5 out of 5 stars.
