Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Does Austen Proud Rarely does a film like "Sense and Sensibility" come along, with that perfect balance of drama, humor, and romance, the sort that leaves you simply feeling happy as the final credits roll. I hated to see it end, in fact; I could have gone on watching the marvelous cast much longer, and that's saying something. Based on the Jane Austen novel (and deftly adapted by Emma Thompson), the plot is uncomplicated, but never tedious or boring. We can thank a terrific cast for that. Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet shine as the Dashwood sisters, Hugh Grant quietly charms, and the supporting cast adds depth and, in some cases, hilarity. Director Ang Lee has quite a wide and accomplished repetoire ("The Ice Storm", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"), yet I would not hesitate in listing this film among his best. His accomplishments with this thoroughly British film are even more considerable since he is Asian. He paces the film fluidly, giving each actor multiple chances to shine, and quite competently balancing the mix of comedy and drama. "Sense and Sensibility" is the perfect movie if you are in the mood for something funny and heart-warming. Essential for any Emma Thompson fan. Rating: - Stunning, picturesque and poignant, but overall just GREAT! Warning!!! This is a biased review because this is my all time favorite movie. But here goes: Anyone who loves to be both visually and emotionally stimulated, you will love this adaptation of Jane Austen's wonderful novel. You don't have to be an avid Jane Austen fan to like this film. The costumes and especially the scenery were breathtaking. Kate Winslet's performance was spectacular and fit Jane Austen's description perfectly as did Emma Thompson. The score is to die for, subtle but moving. Everything about this movie is touching, but it is not too soppy or saccharine sweet. It is simple, yet outstanding. If you like this movie, I also recommend any period miniseris run by the BBC. Definitly avoid this movie if you do not like period movies, or movies with english sensibilities/language. But if you love great plots, actors, costumes and seeing the english countryside, WORSHIP THIS MOVIE!!! Rating: - Flawlessly Beautiful What can I say but I loved this movie! Whether or not you are a Jane Austen fan, you can appreciate the beauty of this film. Emma Thompson has adapted a screenplay from Jane Austen's novel of the same title that deservedly won the Academy Award and she managed to turn in a subtle, nuanced performance as the elder Dashwood sister, Elinor. Kate Winslet, pre-Titanic, is glorious and simply glows as the passionate middle sister, Marianne. Hugh Grant is at his bumbling, awkward best as Edward, the man who quietly steals Elinor's heart. But the best, by far, is Alan Rickman, whose Colonel Brandon is sensitive and intelligent. You simply ache for him as he steps aside, despite his love for Marianne, to allow her to seek happiness with the caddish Willoughby. In the background of these emotional maelstroms is a musical score that captures all of the drama so well your heartstrings will be tugged, in addition to lovely costumes and breathtaking scenery of the English countryside. Simply put, if you want to watch a movie that will fill you with the same longing that Colonel Brandon suffered and love that makes you burn, as Marianne so wished for, this is the movie for you.
