WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?
This is a wonderful adaptation of Jane Austen's novel. Upbeat and funny but still true to the tone of the original, it's a very fun watch.
Keira Knightley is wonderful as Lizzie Bennet, and she really carries this movie with a lot of spirit. The cinematography has some truly lovely moments, and the script stays witty and Austenian.
A film I’ve watched at least three times in a genre I tend to avoid. The chemistry between Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen is irresistible, even for me. An enjoyable and witty adaptation, which, as we’ve learned from less successful films, is hard to pull off.
