Jane Eyre Reviews
Slant Magazine
Jeremiah Kipp
A well-constructed piece of studio work, with vivid black-and-white cinematography under matte painting skies that creates a turbulent, oppressive mood.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
One of the best Hollywood versions of Bronte's classic text, largely due to Orson Welles' powerful performance, dark visuals, and ominous music by yje genius Bernard Herrmann.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Small wins are few and far between, with tragedy and misfortune abounding, but the finale is still monumentally encouraging.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...that this Jane Eyre is more Orson Welles's movie than co-star Joan Fontaine's or director Robert Stevenson's may be a blessing in disguise.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
Stevenson would go on to become Disney's most bankable director (Mary Poppins, The Love Bug, etc.), but don't expect any spoonfuls of sugar here: Jane Eyre is a dark, foreboding film.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Solid, unimaginative version of the book with great cast.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
The whole picture seems to fuse a relentless, revisionist Mercury Theater "take" on Jane Eyre to an obvious attempt on the part of Fox to ride the post-Rebecca wave of Gothic romantic mystery.
Cine-Mundial
Jose Maria Santos
Peggy Ann Garner is excellent portrayting Jane as a child. [Full review in Spanish]
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's difficult to watch the film without considering aspects of authorship, but if you can, there's a very good film underneath.

Rachel Wagner
Has great gothic atmosphere and one of the best young Jane performances
