Awful interpretation

Rating: 1/10 (9 June 2020)

Anyone who says they like this variation of Pride and Prejudice has never read the Austen classic. The casting is abysmal, the change of setting from Regency to Georgian head-scratching, and the deviations from the action of the novel outrageous.
Keira Knightley as an anorexic Elizabeth, Matthew Macfadyen supposedly as a wimpy Mr. Darcy who could barely be expected to manage a McDonald's let alone the vast estate of Pemberley, and why is so much time wasted with Elizabeth twisting on a swing that could have been devoted to furthering the plot?
I cannot emphasize enough: Avoid this film!
Read the novel, watch the 1995 BBC production, but do not confuse this atrocity with anything resembling Austen.
