Absolutely wonderful!

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2006)

When I went to the cinema and saw 'Pride & Prejudice' I was a little unsure whether it would live up to my expectations and be as memorable and lovely as the book and the TV- series from '95. But as soon as the film began I was completely lost. It is very well made with talented actors who deliver a breathtaking performance.
Keira Knightley is lovely as Elizabeth and Matthew McFayden is the Mr. Darcy of your dreams. I do not think I was the only one who sighed, giggled and wanted to be in Elizabeth's shoes more than anything throughout the night! If I should say anything not good about this movie is that it is a little rushed from time to time; famous lines from the book is swiftly said just to have it in there and one thing that I gravely lacked was the kiss between the two lovers (it's very annoying that the Americans can see it and we poor souls in Europe can not...) But even so, I dare say that 'Pride & Prejudice' is one of the best films I have even seen, and that is not just because I love the book. 'Pride & Prejudice' is most of all a romantic story and you laugh and cry while watching it, but it also teach you a good few things about life.
I recommend it with all my heart to those who want to feel good for the rest of the week!
