The movie is based on the book by Jane Austen and as such is already a classic movie.....to accept love again, which is why it remains my favorite film and why I wanted to write a movie review of it.....On a more personal note, Sense and Sensibility gave me the courage to show love again....who turns in a superb performance as the eldest sister Elinor Dashwood..... ...

There's peppy social satire in the smallest of gestures.
