Pride & Prejudice

Jane Austen's tale of love and economics reaches us once more with the energy of a thorough novelty. "Pride and Prejudice" has been a favorite novel of mine since I first read it and I've seen Laurence Olivier and Greer... Full review

For years I have waited for a Pride and Prejudice that perfectly captured the wit, the intelligence, the passion and the romance of Jane Austen's classic. The 1995 mini is fabulous, and I have watched it many times, but I... Full review

Outstanding ... MacFadyen is a worthy Darcy and a darned good actor to boot! The scenery, backgrounds, and country folk were much more realistic than previous versions. The costumes and hairdos also seemed in keeping with the times. Another great... Full review

This film is one of the worst adaptations of Pride and Prejudice ever filmed and if Jane Austen were alive, she would demand that her name be removed from the film. Austen's novel is only superficially a story of the... Full review

Well Wright may have made a gritty depiction of life around 1800 - as he so repeatedly and anally goes on about because of when it was written as opposed to published - but it is HIS not Austen's and... Full review

A "modernised" version of Jane Austen's classic novel that should not be compared unfavourably with 1940 Hollywood Olivier / Garson version nor several BBC serials culminating in the most acclaimed TV series version from 1995 with Colin Firth & Jennifer... Full review

This quintessentially English film is utterly charming - a very traditional interpretation of Jane Austen's 1813 novel that manages to entertain, amuse and even move. First time director Joe Wright has worked with television playwright Deborah Moggach's script and a... Full review

Having watched a slew of special effects-laden trailers before this film I was reassured to discover that in the brave new world of CGI cinema there is still a place for a satisfyingly romantic story, well-acted and thoughtfully scripted and... Full review

Pride and Prejudice was an absolutely fantastic film. A great cast, and Keira Knightly did an excellent job and Matthew Macfadyen was a wonderful in the role of Mr Darcy. The cinematography was so ridiculously good, there were some fantastic... Full review

In 1995 the 5 hours miniseries of Pride & Prejudice, with Colin Firth as Darcy and Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet, was a big hit in England and the Netherlands. It even inspired Helen Fielding to write the Bridget Jones's... Full review

One of the most talented young directors of this decade, Joe Wright's BAFTA Award winning "Pride and Prejudice" was predictable but excellent. Nominated for best original score Oscar for his previous work with director Wright in "Pride & Prejudice," Marianelli's superb original scores are combined with well-selected classics performed by the English Chamber Orchestra (another re-teaming from "Pride and Prejudice"). ...

One of the most talented young directors of this decade, Joe Wrights BAFTA Award winning Pride and Prejudice was predictable but excellent. Maybe the relatively modest Pride and Prejudice was a necessary forerunner to this film. ... Full Review

Blethyn and Sutherland play off each other well and provide wonderful comedy together. I quite enjoyed Pride & Prejudice but that may come from the fact that I'm not all that familiar with Austen's novel. The cast is wonderful. ... Full Review
