Good adaptation

Rating: 7/10 (30 June 2008)

Whilst no film can ever really replace a book from which it has beenadapted, this film, whilst nowhere as good or as accurate as the BBC TVseries does come very close to the original story. For a two hour filmit is excellent. The setting is very good and the acting is superb asone might imagine with such a superb cast. This is a highly recommendedpiece of cinema. It is quite possible that the setting for this film is more accurate than the BBC TV programme although this is the only point on which it outscores this version. The part of Mary Bennett, played by Tallulah Riley, was extremely well done and I suspect that this actress will go far.
