A Well Shot, Well Acted Picture

Rating: 7/10 (15 November 2017)

Joe Wright's directorial debut showcases his talent behind the camera. Pride and Prejudice is filled with beautiful shots and excellent performances. In a story that is really driven by the emotions of the characters, more so than the nitty gritty of the plot itself, the direction is given a greater importance and Joe Wright rose to the challenge.
Keira Knightley gives a great performance as Elizabeth Bennet, as does Brenda Blethyn as her mother. Keilly Reilly and Judi Dench also make the most of their brief appearances. The rest of the cast also does quite well.
