Reviews

‘One of the most delightful and heartwarming adaptations made from Austen or anybody else.’
★★★★★
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

‘The cast of Bennet sisters are young and credible, their group scenes are filmed with hip Altmanesque overlapping dialogue, while the director Joe Wright’s roaming camera gives every exchange an unexpected urgency.’
★★★★★
