A great cast creates a good romance

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2014)

Mr. (Donald Sutherland) and Mrs. Bennet (Brenda Blethyn) have 5 daughters Elizabeth (Keira Knightley), Mary (Talulah Riley), Jane (Rosamund Pike), Lydia (Jena Malone), and Kitty (Carey Mulligan). They would like to marry off the daughters since the land is bound to be inherited by Bennet's cousin Mr. Collins. Wealthy bachelor Charles Bingley, his sister Caroline (Kelly Reilly) and friend Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen) are introduced at the dance. Elizabeth tries to interact with Darcy but he turns out to be rather cold. Mr. Collins comes expecting to have the eldest Jane but she's engaged. Mrs. Bennet suggests Elizabeth instead. Then there is the handsome charming Lieutenant Wickham who has an ugly tale about Darcy.
There are Pride & Prejudice remakes all the time. This one is better than most. It has a great cast from top to bottom led by the beautifully feisty Keira Knightley. There isn't a weak spot in the cast. It keeps the focus on Elizabeth and her love life with more emotions. I think it's a great movie interpretation.
