May 3, 2009Jane Austen's classic comes to life in a retelling of her beloved "Pride & Prejudice". Joe Wright, with screenwriter Deborah Moggach, took on the impossible task of condensing the material into a two hour timeframe whilst still retaining the heart of the novel. While many purists...( read more)

December 2, 2008could only stomach an hour of it and had to switch it off. all i saw and heard was miserable hoighty-toighty types complaining or planning marriages whilst talking bollocks. it's also the scariest film ever made too due to the raving women running around trying to get married. if...( read more)

As historically authentic-looking as Pride & Prejudice is, it has far more invested in emotional authenticity -- you feel engaged every moment. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Pride & Prejudice satisfies as dreamy romance. It's not the razor-sharp satire that Austen can be, but it's lovely entertainment. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
A stellar adaptation, bewitching the viewer completely and incandescently with an exquisite blend of emotion and wit. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
One of the most delightful and heartwarming adaptations made from Austen or anybody else. full review

Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
Any resemblance to scenes and characters created by Miss Austen is, of course, entirely coincidental. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Even the most rabid Janeites must allow that director Joe Wright, 33, has given Austen's novel a beguilingly youthful spin without compromising the novel's late-eighteenth-century manners. full review

June 24, 2009By far my favorite movie, I absolutely never get bored of it. I find the kind of light that is captured is spectacular although I know how Joe Wright is picky at it's subject.
I loved the window scenes and of course the swing. I still don't get the line "You hands are cold" and it's bugging me profoundly.
The reflective part of the movie is what fascinates me the most, although I must admit I get drifted away by Mr. Darcy very often. The other person I love in this movie is Talulah Riley and I think it is a shame that we don't see her a lot ( even tough we would be missing the point if we were only talking of Mary...) Elizabeth is as exiting as twisted and Bingley is the most perfect creature for the angel Jane. -
June 4, 2009I have read this story for about five times, but I never get bored of it. Keira Knitley played very well as the role of Elizabeth Bennet, for she makes this movie full of various mixed emotions. I'm not a British, but I enjoy listening the way they speak up their thoughts which is very cool. The story line is great..........and Jane Austen relates some of her experience in life in this superflous story.

May 29, 2009Not a great fan of keira knightley, but since the 1995 adaptation was mesmerising and giddy, i just have to see if this will triumph.

March 7, 2009the movie is the epitome of evey fairytale i have heard. And yet the diction of the major characters involves you in a pragmatic way. i have watch this movie over and over to discover the reason for this awe and i have not found it cause but have come to a deeper appreciation of the script.

The characters of Jane Austen's classic are extremely underdeveloped. The version with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle is far better.
If you can forget about what it's suppose to be then the movie is fine. -
November 8, 2008It's stupendous ( forgive to use this word...this is my fav. word this month
It's an old tale, but has shown its gorgeous manner, sophisticated one..somehow i would like to be Ms. elizabeth...totally amazing...oh..you must see how Keira Knightley play in pirates of caribean...see how she act before johnny depp...so wild...bold... -
July 29, 2008one of the best novels ever and a great movie:)
I can watch it over and over again:P -
July 26, 2008This is one of the best novel-to-film adaptions I have ever had the pleasure to watch. The music all the way through sets a beautiful tone. Along with the wonderful acting of Keira Knightley as Miss Elizabeth Bennet, and Matthew MacFadyen as the brilliant Mr. Fitswilliam Darcy. You will never say Collin Firth is Mr. Darcy again. Matthew MacFayden captures him, 'body and soul'.
With only slight changes from the novel, the flow and elegance of this love is story is one for the agers.
I recommmend it to anyone who loves a beautiful story of two people drawn together. Also if you love the film I strongly persuade you to read the book. -
June 25, 2008I just love this movie like all of you and I do agree about the comment when Mr. Darcy flexed his hand after touching Elizabeths hand it's just so romantic and also the look of surprise on her face when he touches her hand. But my favorite scene is when he first tells Elizabeth that he loves her out in that beautiful country side and the rain it's just breathtaking...
