Owen Gleiberman is a film critic for EW
A Jane Austen costume drama that takes us inside the subtlest, most wrenching realities of money. Fanny Price (Frances O'Connor) is born into poverty but shipped off at age 10 to live with her wealthy relatives in Mansfield Park, a magnificent stone mansion on the outskirts of London. There, she's beset by a wickedly charming and opportunistic pair of schemers, even though she loves Edmund (Jonny Lee Miller), the tender cousin who sees her inner light. At times, the film makes the central romantic relationship look like a Greg-and-Marsha-Brady conundrum, but O'Connor puts us in touch with the quiet battle of emotions in Fanny. B+
