Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Antonia and Jane, directed by Beeban Kidron, written by Marcy Kahan, was shot as a film for BBC-TV and embraces its small budget as a virtue. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine Antonia and Jane adroitly mixes social comedy and satire. And the lead actors' superb performances leave the indelible impression that laughter and pain are lifelong companions.
