My summary line pretty much says all I need to. Notice that every bad review of this film is from someone who loved the book! Since when did a film live up to the book!? Of course this is a great compliment to Jane Austen. I mean, if your love of an author's work can make you hate on a movie like this then you have to have a pretty good thing going! Me? No, I've never read a Jane Austen novel. And, I doubt I would have never watched this movie as I'm not in the target demographic. But, I happened upon it one rainy afternoon and it just sucked me in. I noticed it on IFC again tonight and I couldn't break myself away. I love it.
Now, of course, I'm a bit biased as I have a crush on Frances O'Connor. But, still, I thought the acting, pacing, and scenery were all very good. What stands out to me though is the way O'Connor shows vulnerability making certain scenes all the more sincere.
