Fails to Capture the Intriguing Collision of Class

Rating: 6/10 (22 January 2019)

11 March 2006. Unlike the mini-series version a decade earlier, this recent theatrical film version fails to present the more fun, gay, informality of the Bennett sister's and loses a lot of the authentic family interactions as well as the subtle non-verbal expression of proper etiquette that appeared so rigidly during this English era of the times. The richness of Jane Austen's dialogue and language has been picked bare in places while offering us the barest of the essential emotional high and low points, though the recent version does capture the emotional intensity effectively.
