Movie Reviews of Mansfield Park (1999)
Movie Review: Best version, but not true to the book
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're looking for a good movie with a Jane Austen-ish feel, then I think you'll like this movie. If you love the book and are looking for a good representation of it, I'm sorry to tell you that I don't think it exists. I've seen 3 versions: this one starring Frances O'Connor, the version starring Billie Piper, and the awful 1986 adaptation. In this version, lots of things are different from the book, most notably, the character of Fanny Price. In the book she's quiet, but firm and virtuous. I have to admit that this was never my favorite of Jane Austen's characters. So while I actually liked the witty, active character that Frances O'Connor played in this version better than the true Fanny Price, it still bugs me that the movie strays so far from the book. The version starring Billie Price is worse. They left out such large chunks from the book that events in that movie don't even make sense. And the 1986 version stars the worst actress I've ever had the misfortune of seeing on the screen.
In conclusion, if you haven't read the book, or if you can get over the changes and enjoy a good movie, I think you'll love this version. If you're looking for a more true representation of the book, then start petitioning BBC.
