Director Julian Jarrold (Kinky Boots) struck a unique and lovely tone, managing to maintain a conventional Merchant-Ivory type look but successfully infusing it with some rather modern humor--Hathaway and McAvoy verbally sparring like an 18th century TracAugust 10, 2007
Hathaway never makes us think the woman could write anything more complex than a diet book.January 12, 2008
A dull exercise in deconstructing Jane Austen's life to provide a life experience basis for her novels.August 10, 2007

Not only is that a huge stretch of the facts, it makes for a dull and overly familiar melodrama.August 09, 2007
Austen comes off here more as stenographer than writer.
