a jewelThis retelling of the book hits all the right notes. It is charming, witty and all the actors involved do the right things and look the right way. I am very happy with this movie. I thank all involved in its making. April 26, 2008
Good watching!
I really enjoyed this version of the Austen classic. It was funny and romantic, much as Austen wrote it. The actors made the characters jump right out of the pages of this story. April 25, 2008
Northanger Abbey
This is such a pretty & sweet little movie, Felicity Jones is amazing!! This may be my favorite Austin movie... (after Pride & Prejudice of course!) April 19, 2008
A Hard One to Capture
I agree with all the critiques so far, but the executives at PBS/Masterpiece Classics should be horsewhipped for being so stupid as to think that Austen lovers would be content with 1 1/2 hour productions and convoluted changes. This adaptation is delightful with it's music, costumes, and choice of actors- I think I've fallen in love with J.J. Feild, but at times I also felt like I was on a run-away train. The pace is so fast that I shouldn't be surprised that the last 2 minutes left me shaking my head-that was our hero and heroine walking out of Church with their baby, right?? Who could tell with such a long, awkward shot across the grass. The ending was not well done.
However, the adapters did try to capture the wit, irony, and tone of Austen's characters- not easy to make fun of Gothic novels when one is writing exactly that-a Gothic novel. April 16, 2008
A pleasure to watch
I was not really familiar with this story, but I watched anyway when it was broadcast on television. I was pleasantly surprised. I was quite charmed by the simple story, and by the main character (who was quite unlike anything I expected to find in a story from that time period).
The costumes in this particular film were also quite lovely. As with all of these Jane Austen productions, the quality and look of the films is top-notch. April 12, 2008
