    punishing Jane Austen

    A big ugh.

    Period pieces or contemporary versions based on classic novels etc - are great when they are done well and are respectful to the original material and time period and if changed and "updated" provide plausible context for the changes.

    The 1995 Pride and Prejudice, Doctor Thorne, Downton Abby are examples of terrific period pieces.

    On the opposite end, the Keira Knightley Pride and Prejudice, Anya Taylor-Joe's Emma, CW's Reign among many others were just horrid...

    This Hallmark version of Sense & Sensibility was sad and bad on all levels. Felt like a high school student trying to make an "updated" film.

    The anachronistic concept did not make sense to begin with.

    Why not use the story line and do something in a believable circumstance and setting?

    If wedded to a "period piece" then how about changing the setting to, for example, early 1900s USA?

    Or do a modern version like Clueless (Emma)?

    The actors seemed miserable..

    And completely weird to have Dan Jeannotte as the hero here.

    If the point of the production was to recast, then Edward should have been played by a Black actor - so many talented Black British actors like Alfred Enoch or Ashley Walter or Gary Carr to name a few.

    Flat, wooden, passionless

    I'm sure theses are lovely and talented actors but the performances here just do not convey any emotion or feeling. This adaption was very choppy and rushed not allowing the time in scenes when needed in order to express the necessary emotions. I have enjoyed the other JA movies on Hallmark this month but sadly this one misses the mark. I have seen several of the performers in different vehicles and portrayals were great so perhaps the failure here is the script or direction. Watch this for yourself if you want to decide for yourself or perhaps take my advice and watch one of the other excellent adaptations.

    Cultural differences

    6.2 stars.

    The thought came to me about 10 minutes into the movie that if I want to watch Austen's 'Sense and Sensibility', I will simply revert back to the one and only that I've seen. This being about 29 years ago, and I was profoundly moved by that version. We all know I'm referring to the one with Thompson and Winslet. I don't particularly have any desire to ponder whether or not there's any other version to consider. The 1995 version was such perfection for me, it will be difficult justifying the allocation of my precious time to watching this one. I think Hallmark is being pretentious by creating another film based solely on the unadulterated novel itself. They should have added some twists and tweaks like they recently did with the pride and prejudice film. Trying to make an authentic remake of the original movie was a risky endeavor that did not pay off. I let the meter run for a good 30 to 40 minutes and realized this falls way flat. So I move onward to the next Hallmark film in my library. Cheerio.

    Lovely

    This doesn't need to be compared to other versions, since it's Hallmark, that comes with a...hmm, stigma maybe? In other words, you know what you're getting.

    As someone who loves Austen, I really liked this. The leads were great, particularly Elinor and Edward; some of the dialogue felt a bit modern if that makes sense, in that I didn't feel like it came directly from that era. But I feel like in general, most period pieces don't get it right 100% of the time.

    Bottom line is, don't pay attention to the reviews or the ratings, whether you're a newbie or an Austen devotee. Just watch it for yourself and see what you think! Solid 6/10.

    What Did Jane Austen Do To Deserve This?

    One question - why?

    Why on earth did this remake have to be made?

    I say this as one who loves this book it is my second favourite Austen novel (after Persuasion) and I have read it multiple times and seen various versions on screen. And this... this drivel is an insincere adaption and the acting is awful, the accents iffy and it seems hurried and forced.

    There's no romance at all you never feel the couples falling for each other. Wooden as. Poor poor Jane! Even the presence of the brilliant Martina Laird did nothing for me.

    I kept on comparing it to the Ang Lee masterpiece. I have long believed Emma Thompson is Elinor Dashwood no one else will ever be able to fill those shoes. And this proves it.

    Simply awful.
