Sensibilities and Senses, along with Love and Devotion

by   telynor , top reviewer in Movies at Epinions.com ,  Apr 12, 2001
Pros: Excellent adaptation of Austen's novel.
Cons: Most modern viewers will find it too slow and boring.
The Bottom Line: Best of the adaptations of the Jane Austen novels, this one sparkles with wit, excellent acting and one of the best screenplays around.
Review: It may look like from the con comments that I did not like this film. Quite the opposite! It has turned into one of my favorites -- and each time I watch it, the more I enjoy it.

All of Jane Austen's novels dealt with class, manners and were...

It's Only Sensible to Love This Movie

by   befus ,  Oct 19, 2005
Pros: Brilliant adaptation; romantic; funny; ingenious casting (especially Thompson and Rickman)
Cons: Character-driven story will not appeal to everyone
The Bottom Line: If you're an Austen fan, this movie provides blissful entertainment. If you're not an Austen fan...well, why aren't you?
Review: There's a tiny but brilliant scene early on in 1995's Sense and Sensibility, that for me, sums up so much of the film's warmth and genius. Willoughby, the handsome and dashing suitor of young and passionate Marianne Dashwood, is visiting at the ...

Jane Austen Plus Emma Thompson Equals Moviemaking Brilliance

by   bilbopooh ,  Sep 1, 2003
Pros: brilliant cast and adaptation
Cons: may bore some viewers
The Bottom Line: One of the rare adaptations that truly does justice to the book on which it is based. Absolutely brilliant.
Review: Generally, when I see a movie based on a book which I have read, I prepare myself for disappointment ...

To Love is to Burn, to Be on Fire!

by   metalluk , top reviewer in Movies at Epinions.com ,  Apr 1, 2005
Pros: Austen's themes; great lead and secondary performances; sets; costumes; emotional depth of the script
Cons: The two most stylized performances (Grant and Rickman) won't be to every viewer's taste
The Bottom Line: One of the five best Austen adaptations and among the best English language films.
Review: I cherish Jane Austen's novels. The best of the adaptations rank among my all-time favorite films. There are five adaptations I consider to be better than the others. I've previously raved about three of those: P ride ...

A great "Chick Flick"

by   pootzygirl ,  Mar 28, 2007
Pros: Incredible acting from the entire cast, intelligent script, happy ending.
Cons: Some may complain it's outdated, but I disagree.
The Bottom Line: If you are a woman, and consider yourself a romantic, then you will probably adore this as I do.
Review: I admit it, I love this movie, for so many reasons. Set in England, in the years before women could earn their own money, this is Jane Austen's story of sisterly devotion and the lessons of romance. Kate Winslet (Marianne) and Emma Thompson (Elinor) ...

Sense and Sensibility: It Makes Sense to See It!

by   serc ,  Jan 25, 2001
Pros: Marvelous story, acting, costuming, set... everything!
Cons: Not for those who don't like period films or films made from literature.
The Bottom Line: I love this movie - Jane Austen's story is not only compelling; it's funny! It's a great way to enjoy a classic story.
Review: I first saw Sense and Sensibility before it was released to general theaters in 1995. We bought our tickets early, which turned out to be a good plan; when we returned to the Uptown Theater in Minneapolis, there was a line 4 or 5 feet wide that...

Sense And Sensibility - The DVD Reviewed

by   DJKareBear ,  Nov 14, 2002
Pros: Surprising choice of extra features for a very beautiful movie.
Cons: The DVD Menu is a bit plain and somewhat disturbing (read on)
The Bottom Line: Overall I would recommend buying this DVD to anyone who loves romantic comedy, especially Jane Austen.

See it! It's an "excellent notion" to quote the movie itself!

by   suepera ,  Aug 14, 2001
Pros: Superbly adapted screenplay by Thompson and a perfectly cast ensemble!
Cons: It's not "Rambo, first blood" -- or is that really a CON?
The Bottom Line: A beautifully filmed, acted and directed story about not losing our heads over our hearts. Not to be missed, this is a great adaptation of the Jane Austen novel.
Review: I immediately fell in love with this movie when I saw it the first time. The award winning (just about every award, Oscar, BSFC, BFCA, Golden Globe & more!) screenplay by Emma Thompson is absolutely perfect! She truly did a masterful job & was worthy of...

Senseless to miss this rare gem

by   akamystic ,  May 22, 2001
Pros: Authentic Jane Austin masterpiece comes to life.
Cons: You have to have some substance and an attention span longer than Robo-cop.
The Bottom Line: This movie takes you into a historical period, fascinating. It taps into a personal heartstring that we can only pretend to show others in our deepest of souls.
Review: This is one of my all time endearing favorites.
The Victorian period that it takes place in, the location where the film was made. The beautiful costumes, gorgeous ornate settings and backdrops coupled with strong gifted actor’s sets the pace for an...

Better than I thought it would be!

by   poemwriter1 ,  Mar 18, 2000
Pros: Excellent portrayal.
Cons: Ended abruptly.
Review: I found this movie accidentally about three years ago while attending a convention for a company I worked for at the time. I recognized the title form previews I had seen recently and realized it was adapted from the novel by Jane Austen. Having read the...
