The Ultimate Romance

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2016)

I don't get the bad reviews. The movie is a cinematic masterpiece, a fresh interpretation of Austen's classic with a flair of Romantic elements and a subtle contemporary perspective, much more creative in its bold thematic and stylistic choices than the competent, if uninspired, 1995 TV show.
Everything from direction to cinematography, musical score, acting, costume design, art direction, and art-house symbolism is great.
The chemistry between the two leads is palpable. The supporting cast excellent.
The best romantic movie I've seen in my life.
