The movie comes under the genre of romance and drama. It was released on 9 March 1997, directed by Robert Young. It has received 7 ratings out of 10 kn IMDb. As the Jane's role played by Samantha in this film, Jane faced all the Hardships at the very beginning and lost her best friend,who grew up together, being in love with the person who is already married as she comes to know about Mr Rochester's wife. She might consider herself a Homeracker.
Jane left Mr Rochester's house to go to a different place but couldn't erase the feelings for Mr Rochester. After many years Jane came back to him.

In conclusion, the movie is well planned as per the text, as Young chooses the most suitable individual to play Jane's role, as the character of Jane is submissive, subtle and facing reality in harsh phases.
This adaptation is overall well explained in cinematic representation.
I would rate it 6 out 10 in person. As the sudden rises of Mr. Rochester's wife, Interrupted the flow of the relationship between Jane and Mr Rochester.
