12A I'm not really sure why this one is a 12A, there is one scene on the wedding night but it's quite discreet I thought.
I took my 14 year old to see this as part of his home schooling program, feeding him the classics in movie format is infinitely more palatable than reading the book, especially for a dyslexic.
Being a lover of classical fiction I may be a tad biased but I really enjoyed this rendition, as did my son. Although, to be fair, the last one I made him sit through was a screening of a play of Hamlet for 3hrs and 20 min so this must have been sheer entertainment in comparison.
Very well acted and I thought gave a lovely insight into Victorian life, although I fear that it might have been veering more to the fiction than fact as I doubt a woman would have been that readily accepted in such a male dominated role.
Definitely worth a watch
