This classic period film ages like a fine red wine. It is best savoured with good company, who will appreciate all of the delightful nuances that is a classic Jane Austen novel. Originally released in the mid 90's, the film was a huge box office success and received seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actress. First time writer Emma Thompson added much of the humorous interplay between characters and quite rightly received the award for Best Adapted Screenplay. She also appears Elinor Dashwood alongside a delightful Kate Winslet who plays younger sister Marianne. Add in a bumbling Hugh Grant and the sultry tones of Alan Rickman along with superb direction by Ang Lee, and the film becomes a timeless classic, very much enjoyed today as it was when it was released over 25 years ago. 5 Sensible Stars.

I appreciated this movie as much to as I did a few years ago. I really appreciated the quality of actors and real scenery, very missing today. I watched this movie as a treat for myself.

A Tale Of Two Sisters!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 October 2017Verified Purchase
I remember this film when it was originally released, because I went to see it with my family. Something of a rare experience considering the advances in technology, what with streaming and all. It follows the fortunes of the Dashwood family,(three daughters and their mother), who find their lives turned upside down when their father passes away, and their home is inherited by his son from a previous marriage, by law. Before they move to a cottage in Devonshire, owned by a relative, Eleanor Dashwood (Emma Thompson) meets Edward, and it is clear that they are getting along like a house on fire, but Fanny (Edward's sister) disapproves of the match. The younger Dashwood sister, Marianne (Kate Winslet) meets the dashing Willoughby (Greg Wise), and immediately falls head over heels in love with him, but she also catches the eye of Colonel Brandon (Alan Rickman). Through a series of trials, tribulations, and crossed wires, in the old Jane Austen tradition, the two sisters eventually find their happy ever after. I agree with another reviewer that I think some of the cast were indeed too old for the parts they were playing, but it's a very good film in spite of that. At the end of the film, when we were in the cinema, the audience booed the 'bad guy.' Like we were at a pantomime! I won't say who! But it's definitely worth a look!

A winning story with a wonderful cast
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 March 2015Verified Purchase
Charm, sensibility, peppered with sense and marvellous acting, a starry cast topped by Emma Thompson simply wonderful as Eleanor, so well supported by a pretty, light-hearted Kate Winslet as Marianne and a lovely turn as their mother from Gemma Jones. Hugh Grant is suitably clever and witty beneath a shy demeanour - a turn out of his usual romantic style! - and Alan Rickman is also clever and shy but totally different, as Marianne's suitor, competing with Greg Wise who captures and breaks Marianne's heart.
This is the best version of Austen's novel and a simply super film. Every scene captivates whether it is waspish Harriet Walter, married to the girls' stepbrother (James Fleet) pontificating, or Robert Hardy and Elizabeth Spriggs as the jovial cousin and his stepmother, who offer the almost destitute Dashwoods a home in Devon, who bring fun and games and humour to the playing out of the story.
I love this film and Emma Thompson's witty, lively script well won its Oscar. Recommended highly.

Modern take on this classic
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 September 2021Verified Purchase
If you like Jane Austen but are happy to see her work modernised, then this would be for you, If you are a bit of a 'stickler' for authenticity then perhaps go for the slightly older version by the BBC. The actors are all on top form and it is especially nice to see Alan Rickman at close to his best. Packaging was in ?Polish but no problem with disc which was set in English.

Wonderful and well directed film.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 September 2019Verified Purchase
Had this film in video form from years ago so had to update to a dvd as I watch it as often as I can. It's one of the most well directed and well produced films of a Jane Austen book. Only a very few production/directional liberties taken with the actual action in the book. Hugely enjoyable with a stellar cast so well suited to the dialogue and social intercourse of the time. A must for any dvd library.
