Reviews
When it comes to adapting Austen I'll take period charm any day over loud noise and India, but only if it's done with a bit of ambition - this production fails to find any.
There's also a genuine chemistry between [Knightley] and Matthew McFadyen's Darcy, which is fortunate, because he frequently overdoes the stomping and the glowering, coming across as a stroppy Clive Owen in miniature.
Makes an agreeably refined accompaniment to a bucket of popcorn.
At least these filmmakers make it properly cinematic, finely focussing the story while keeping it gritty and realistic

... the classic chick flick story long before any flick found the word chick.
Luminous visuals, subtle thematic statements, and fine acting. A lovely period piece that surely will stand the test of time.
Una película irónica y romántica, con lujos de ambientación y fotografía, fiel al espíritu de la novela de Jane Austen en que se basa.
Breathes new life into characters and conversations never before quite wholly free from the printed page.
The best parts of the film are the punctuation. The moments away from all that rambling clever dialogue.
I wasn't moved by the romance, but the lush art direction, pretty music and gorgeous cinematography did get to me.
A aura de inevitabilidade da conclusão torna a experiência relativamente previsível, mas a trajetória até o desfecho é, sem dúvida alguma, repleta de charme.
So why should non-English majors have any interest in this sort of antique romance? Because it actually is romantic, in a way that's kind of charming in its absence of contemporary wisecracking worldliness.
It's quite 'agreeable,' as the fatuous Mr. Collins would say, but there's something disturbing about a Jane Austen adaptation that uses an ampersand as an official part of its title.
Apparently, Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" is the book whose influence just won't die.
