Rachel Wagner

Captures the novel well

A Jane Austen movie that is never pretty and only occasionally charming; instead, it is troubled, astringent, and touched with melancholy-not unlike the novel.

For a film as esteemed as it is, it has always felt overshadowed by its proximity to BBC's beloved production of Pride and Prejudice.
