Johnny Flynn (Mr Knightley) finally gets the period drama love interest lead I’ve been waiting for! I am a huge fan of Johnny’s music and acting, as I am a fan for period pieces and Austen. This film is absolutely delicious, the colours, costumes, and compositions of the scenes were the embodiment of tart luxury that 18th c England was for the higher class. The script followed the tongue of Austen, playfully dancing with the tartness exaggerated. The casting was superb and my star of the show - apart from Johnny - has to be Tania Reynolds who played the snooty Mrs Elton. Hilarious, beautifully shot and cast - apart from the frank lack of diversity. Loved it.

An absolutely delicious film with an exciting array of cast that tell the story in a fresh yet Dickens-esque way. Beautiful colours, and beautiful filming especially with his memories being projected onto the walls of the Georgian and Victorian buildings. Great to see such diversity being portrayed, and to those who are moaning about it ‘not being historically accurate’ have no idea about history at all.
