Anna Astin

Really joyful. Michael Ball in particular is great, obviously a great singer, but believable actor and dancer.

Bar none, this is the best version. It’s so understated and uses so much of Austen’s dialogue. There may have been other versions but this is the gold standard. Cast is magnificent.

Pale and contrived. The cast lack cohesion

On the whole I am not fond of foreign-language films unless I can speak the language of course! This, however, was a total delight from start to finish and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The redemptive power of human contact to heal a broken heart was beautifully portrayed. The cast were, to a man, and a woman, utterly believable and delightful.
