While this version plays somewhat fast and loose with the original story, and even more so with the heroine's character, it is still much more Jane Austen than not.

Despite its brazen politics, Mansfield Park never goes giddily amok as promised.
Kevin Maynard, Mr. Showbiz
Rotten
This Mansfield Park becomes a kind of romanticized gloss -- an imaginative grad-student thesis that melds author and character.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A witty, entertaining film.
Roger Ebert, At the Movies

A gorgeous, enchanting experience.
