A respectable adaptation of Jane Austen's novel of the same name.
Mansfield Park (the movie) surely didn't get enough recognition for Frances O'Connor's performance.
I have seen many complaints about it being unfaithful to the book, but I think that the essential was to make a film faithful to the style of Jane Austen, not the plot.
Plus, for once, I thought that the 4th wall breaking was entertaining and practical in the way that it is not used to bring comical relief or to make lazy expositions.
Also, it is undoubtedly, a feminist story, but unlike the more recent Enola Holmes, it avoids historical revisionism.
My major complaint is that Patricia Rozema, maybe due to a lack of budget, shot the film like a TV movie.
