TC Candler's Review

A-

Frances O'Connor is a revelation!

If you love movies like Emma & Sense and Sensibility... then this film is for you.

This is easily the best Jane Austen novel ever committed to celluloid. Frances O'Connor is a star in the making. She stars in a humorous and touching tale of a young girl sent by her impoverished family to live a 'better life' with aristocracy. The film does take liberties with the original story, but if anything, they make for a better film. The cinematography is reminiscent of a painting by Claude Monet, the script is witty and moving, and the direction is superb.
