Rating:  - What were they thinking?
Why Billie Piper? There are so many gifted actresses who would have made this role believable. Blake Ritson is new to me, but I really enjoyed him as Edmund. But how to get past the glaring miscast of Billie Piper? What were they thinking?
I own and enjoy the version from the 1980's starring someone with the improbable name of Sylvestra LaTouzel. She's just right, in my opinion.
Rating:  - So disappointed!
I was so looking forward to a new version of Mansfield Park. Most of us were disappointed in the 1999 movie. This version turns out to be disappointing for much the same reason as the 1999 movie.

The only accurate portrayal of this story is the old ... Read More
Rating: - distracting
While I am a Janeite, I often enjoy adaptations that vary from Austen's original work. So, I was surprised when I disliked this one so much. I have watched almost every TV and movie version of Jane Austen's fiction. Before I saw this one, the strongest objections that I had were a few significant deviations from Austen's intentions and a few versions that were just plain boring.
When I saw this version of Mansfield Park, I was so distracted by Billie Piper's appearance that I could not ... Read More
Rating:  - Another great picture!
The acting in this adaptation is superb and most believable! Jane Austen would be proud, I think!
