Loved This, Might Want to Have a Tissue Handy
I hadn't read any of Jane Austen's novels at the time I saw this film. so this was my introduction to Austen.My husband and I tried to see it when it was at the theatre but the local cinema had the wrong time listed on their web-site so we ended up waiting for it to come out on video. And boy am I glad we didn't see it at the theatre. This movie reduced me to a blubbering fool! And I much prefer to blubber in the privacy of my own home.I loved the period details, the clothes, the dances, the social interactions and the relationship between Jane and Tom.The beginning was a little bit on the slow side, my husband fell asleep, but I didn't mind.I loved this movie, I thought it was wonderful, the acting was wonderful, the story was moving, the costumes were beautiful. It made me want to read Jane Austen's books.
