Decent enough if you need a quick Austen fix

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2018)

I give this movie a 9 because it is just that....a quick fix. It's terribly flawed from beginning to end....however, I have read the book several times as well as watched the BBC version too many times to count, so I recognize what's wrong and what works. To expect a perfect adaption in 2 hours is completely unrealistic. The casting is what is unforgivable....Donald Sutherland? NO! Kiera Knightly is annoying to watch....and Jenna Malone and the other sister....wow....
But if you can manage to get through their performances and you aren't the Jane Austen die-hard who expects her work to be properly depicted in 2 hours, you might really like it.
