Quote:
"[Patricia] Rozema redirects the focus of Mansfield Park, turning a novel concerned with the effects of particular upbringings on individual happiness and morality into a film concerned with the effects of broader social forces on the content and discontent of entire classes of people, as well as their individual representatives."
-- Sayre Greenfield, Linda Troost
