When wealthy Mr Bingley (Simon Woods) and his friend, the dashing Mr Darcy (Macfadyen), arrive in a small Hertfordshire town, Mrs Bennett (Brenda Blethyn) sees it as the perfect opportunity to marry off her eligible daughters.

It's a beautiful classic and there is really not much I could say that hasn't already been said. My mom watched this on repeat when I was young and now it is my default comfort film to relax after a tough day. Every scene has subtle intricacies and deft acting choices, the soundtrack is sublime and the cinematography is top notch.

A struggle of Pride and Prejudice, perception and reality, forgiveness and love. It's a beautiful story, it's definitely one of the most best movies I've seen to date. It's from Jane Austen's most favourite novel. A window into 18th century life amongst the English gentry. Stunning Stately Homes & beautiful English countryside.

Großartige Verfilmung!
Reviewed in Germany on 20 November 2017Verified Purchase
Diesen Film habe ich mir zunächst auf Prime angesehen und war positiv überrascht, die Umsetzung finde ich nach wie vor super gelungen und die Schauspieler einfach hinreißend! Natürlich ist diese Version im Vergleich zu der von 1995 mit Colin Firth noch etwas mehr Richtung Hollywood ausgerichtet und weniger detailreich, aber für mich war es der perfekte romantische Einstieg in Jane Austens Werk. Diese Verfilmung hat mich mit Jane Austen infiziert und mich spontan nach dem Buch und weiteren Versionen suchen (und auch finden) lassen. :-) Klar, dass ich den Film damit auch in meiner Sammlung haben musste.
Ich finde die darstellerische Leistung der Schauspieler ganz wunderbar und sehr charmant, Matthew Mcfadyens Entscheidung, Mr. Darcy nicht nur stolz und hochmütig, sondern im Grunde seines Wesens sogar schüchtern darzustellen (das sieht man spätestens nach dem zweiten Mal Anschauen ganz deutlich... :-P), hat mich einfach nur verzaubert und voll und ganz für diese Version eingenommen. Auch Kira Knightley hat mich in ihrer Art und Weise als scharfsinnige, bestimmte und dennoch manchmal kindliche Lizzy total überzeugt. Wenn man die beiden Hauptdarsteller zusammen sieht und ihren Wort- oder Blickgefechten zusieht, sprühen die Funken (die Tanzszene, die Szene ihres Streits) und man will ihnen zurufen "Nun küsst euch doch endlich!". Ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass noch mehr Szenen aus dem Buch mit diesen toll harmonierenden Schauspielern umgesetzt worden wären, damit die Geschichte mehr Zeit bekommt sich zu entwickeln. Die Extras der Bluray sind ein nettes Beiwerk, die zusätzliche Szene ein Nice-to-have, aber letztendlich kein Muss. Ich persönlich genieße es auch sehr, die englische Version zu sehen, gewünscht hätte ich mir noch eine spanische Tonspur. Aber das ist alles Jammern auf hohen Niveau, daher von mir eine klare Empfehlung!

Good, but the bbc version is more thorough and faithful
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 March 2015Verified Purchase
In a nutshell, this is a good adaption of the book but not a patch on the bbc version. Basically, if you want the definitive and most accurate adaption of the book, go with the classic bbc version, if you want a slimmed down but ultimately enjoyable telling of the pride and prejudice story go for this. The acting is solid throughout, even Darcy grew on me over the course of the film.
The one major criticism I have is that fitting the story into one 1hr 45 min movie means that you lose some of the supporting characters and reduce screen time for those that remain. This in turn means that the actual motivations and actions of the lead casts on occasions don't make sense - in a fuller adaption, it makes it and easier to believe Lydia would do what she does and even Lizzies emotional journey seems somewhat simplified.
A good adaption but as a movie, there are several or holes and missed scenes.

Love it
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 May 2021Verified Purchase
Great film, I love it. I like Keira knightley’s take on Elizabeth Bennett. I wasn’t sure about Mr Darcy the first time but grew to love him too. I have to admit that I haven’t seen the older version of the film starring Colin Firth so I can’t compare to that but for me, I loved this one and felt it did justice to a great story

Achingly beautiful film
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 June 2007Verified Purchase
Pride & Prejudice is without doubt one of the most iconic and enduring tales of romance to be born of English literature. This adaption is stunning, beautiful and breathtaking. Keira Knightley captures the playful but plain speaking Elizabeth perfectly, and Matthew McFadyen is the essence of silently smouldering Darcy whose arrogant veneer masks depths of sensitivity and vulnerability. The attraction between the two is electrifying. Sumptuous scenery and a haunting soundtrack combine with incredible performances to create a film of intense beauty. I can watch and watch this and still be enthralled by it every time.
