Perfect Representation of a Wonderful Story

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2005)

I liked this movie excessively. It has almost all the elements of a great movie (minus action); suspense, romance, humor, wit, and British accents. The cinematography is beautiful and the movie was excellently cast. Sometimes Kiera Knightly's mouth gets a bit annoying, with her big teeth and jutting chin, but she delivers the lines just as Elizabeth Bennett would, so one can forgive her for the affectation. I love all of the Jane Austen movies (Emma, Sense & Sensibility, Mansfield Park, etc.) but this is by far the best yet. The movie inspired me to read the book (which is very good) and the movie is mostly spot on with it, which makes me like the movie even more for its integrity. I highly recommend it (catch it on the big screen if you can).
