Synopsis
Mansfield Park (2007) is a British period drama adapted from Jane Austen that you can watch online on iFILM. As a child, poor Fanny Price is shipped off to live with her wealthy relatives at Mansfield, an estate where she's tolerated more than welcomed.
Years on, Fanny has grown into a quiet, watchful young woman, secretly in love with her cousin Edmund — the one person who ever treated her kindly. Then the worldly Crawford siblings arrive from London and the household's careful order starts to crack with flirtation, scheming and advantageous matches. Fanny has to choose between a safe, comfortable future and what her heart actually wants. Billie Piper takes the lead, with Blake Ritson as Edmund and Hayley Atwell as Mary Crawford.
This ITV television film runs just 93 minutes, so Austen's novel is pared down to its essentials, without the slow build of the longer serial versions. A solid pick if you want English estates, corsets and restrained feeling in a single sitting. Stream Mansfield Park online on iFILM.
