Movie Reviews of Masterpiece Theatre: Mansfield Park
Movie Review: Not My Favorite
Summary: 3 Stars
I wanted to root for this version, I really did. Fanny Price is one of most unappreciated of the Austen lead females. I am always up for an Austen adaption, but this one, well, I was disappointing. The only reason I will be buying it because my Austen DVD collection feels incomplete without it.
Billie Piper was an interesting choice of Fanny Price. However, it would have been a better choice had she looked appropriate for the period, as others have pointed out. I liked Blake Ritson as Edmund and Hayley Atwell was an excellent Mary. The moment I knew I was disappointing when Fanny was not send back to Portsmith after rejecting Henry. Though it was nice to see William.
Oh well, maybe one day, we will get a faithful adaption.

Fanny navigates a labyrinth of intrigues and affairs among the occupants of the house, while her cousin Edmund Bertram (Blake Ritson, Inspector Lynley Mysteries) remains her stalwart confidant.
