A beautiful film which completely immerses you into the lives of the characters.

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 2005)

Having seen and enjoyed the BBC drama series, I was not looking forward to this film. I watched it with my 17 year old daughter who has never read the book or seen the BBC version. I was particularly worried that the actor playing Mr Darcy would never live up to Colin Firth's portrayal. I needn't have worried - this Mr Darcy does not disappoint! We both enjoyed every minute of this film. We found ourselves totally immersed in this beautiful film,the many fine acting performances, excellent use humour and, of course,the intense love themes. The lack of "Hollywood" make-up and gloss, especially noticeable at the start of the film, was very refreshing. This film captures the spirit of the time and of the original book.
