One of the Most Stunningly Beautiful Movies Ever

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2006)

The knock I heard about this film was that it was a "woman's" picture. Apparently that remark means that only women can appreciate incredible writing, striking cinematography and acting that can only be described as sexy through the chemistry that streaks off the screen. This is certainly not a "man's" picture because no one is killed or nothing is blown up. What "Pride & Prejudice" is is a thinking person's cinematic achievement which combines "old-fashioned" movie making skills with some well-chosen and subtle special effects. It's a movie that makes you feel what it was like to live in that era of more than 100 years ago. It's a film to savor for many years.
