Lady Jane

This was a really good movie. The scenery and costumes were stunningly beautiful. Having read books about Lady Jane, I do not believe this movie to be entirely historically accurate,(especially the passion that Jane and Guilford shared in marriage - which contradicts most of what I have read about their relationship), but it was still entertaining. The ending was very moving and sad, but Jane stayed true to her Christian beliefs and lost her head over it. I would definitely recommend watching this movie!

History can be dull but a movie like this one makes all the difference. A tender love story about two idealistic young people who really cared.

I love anything that has to do with history, but this movie is good just to watch. Yes it is based on the history of tudor england which it follows pretty well. The cast is great Helena Bonham Carter plays a great Lady Jane Grey. This movie is worth watching just for enterainment not historical fact. If your in the mood for a Tudor love story then this is you movie.

lovely costumes and very good acting but could have been more historically accurate. very slow-going bec atmospheric scenes went on too long IMO. i read a detailed bio on Lady Jane and she wasn't nearly as feisty as portrayed. also, she and Guilford developed a mutual respect and sypmathy for each other but didn't have a torrid romance, although i know that looks nice onscreen with such attractive stars, it seemed the main focus of her biopic. i dont' believe it was even mentioned she's known as the 9-day Queen bec she only "reigned" 9 days! so the new shilling and all their other edicts were pure fiction. in reality she spent time imprisoned in the tower, anxiously awaiting her fate and writing brilliant pieces for posterity. the trauma of seeing Guilford's dead body carted away from her tower window would have been poignant (as well as accurate) scene. it was a decent movie but it didn't do justice to the brave martyr who suffered such a cruel and undeserving fate.

Miss Carter is a revelation. This (I believe) was her first feature film. She was fairly young. The whole cast works together so very well!! But she sparkles so bright,it's hard to take your eyes off her. As you see I am a big fan. She chooses a wide range of somewhat eccentric roles, but she chooses what she will be in. She decides. That makes her all the more special.

I saw this years ago and loved it. The sad story of a young woman made queen by those who wanted to control the crown. If any of you use Ancestry.com and come across a Jane Grey/Gray in your tree...make sure she died when she was 16/17 before claiming her as an ancestor.

Lady Jane, aside from the touching love story which no historian could realistically capture, appeared to be an accurate account of the girl who was manipulated into becoming one of the queens of England. It was well acted and entertaining and free from the usual phoniness of the movie industry.

I hear Helena is a bear to work with, but the results are always worth the wait and the grief. Even so young, she brings such intensity to the screen, you can't bear to look away. A little piece of history dramatized and played before your eyes with passion and vitality. Wonderful midweek escapist movie with tea and crumpets.

I was a bit disappointed in this movie. With a little research, I discovered that most of this story about Lady Jane is not true, so I found it difficult to take the movie seriously. I enjoy period drama, as much for the costumes, traditions etc. of the times portrayed as for the story, so that part of Lady Jane was interesting. However, if more of the the movie had been based on fact, I would have enjoyed it more.

Love this show

Excellant casting, romantic historic and philophical. One of my very best favorite movie.
