With this keenly observed comedy of manners, director Whit Stillman has successfully reimagined the period romance for contemporary audiences…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Leigh Paatsch (1,103) for Herald Sun (Australia) (1,081) on 19 Jul 2016

From one of Jane Austen's lesser-known works -- the posthumously published novella Lady Susan -- springs one of the finest Austen movie adaptations…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Alex Doenau (232) for Trespass (429) on 19 Jul 2016

Beckinsale is the perfect vessel for this dialogue, rattling off completely un-self aware statements and insults that border on the ridiculous…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Sarah Mcintyre (48) for RTÉ (Ireland) (721) on 19 Jul 2016

This is about as far from a typical Jane Austen adaptation as you can imagine possible, and only serves to highlight the writer's sharp wit…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Louise Keller (804) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 16 Jul 2016

Love, money and convenience engage in a merry dance, in this engaging comedy of manners adapted from Jane Austen's novella Lady Susan…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Andrew L. Urban (972) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 16 Jul 2016

Whit Stillman doesn't go far enough, not for me anyway, with his stylised satire about a right bitch of a scheming, lying, selfish woman, Lady…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By David N. Butterworth (570) for Movie Boeuf (266) on 13 Jul 2016

Alas, there's nobody to root for in any of this: you feel manipulated by Lady Susan, sorry for Frederica, irritated by Reginald, and embarrassed…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Sonny Bunch (405) for Washington Free Beacon (282) on 13 Jul 2016

Wry and witty, Love & Friendship is one of the funniest films of the year, a costume comedy for the ages…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Lesley Coffin (32) for The Mary Sue (174) on 12 Jul 2016

T seems to me, if you like Whit Stillman's films, you probably love them…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Cj Johnson (473) for ABC Radio (Australia) (677) on 12 Jul 2016

It's a jaunty, spiffy, upbeat and pacy movie, the kind where everyone is too busy being witty, flirtatious and tart to sit down…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 10 Jul 2016

The requisite tossed-off zingers and genre subversion abound, with Tom Bennett nearly stealing the show as the charmingly rambling Sir James Martin…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Steve Newall (155) for Flicks.co.nz (982) on 06 Jul 2016

Stillman, Beckinsale, and Austen really share the honours here, though, in this witty, watchable, film…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Francesca Rudkin (294) for New Zealand Herald (729) on 06 Jul 2016

Turns out this strangely titled adaptation, named after another of Austen's novellas, isn't just delightful good fun, it's also terribly funny,…

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 22 Jun 2016

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Todd Jorgenson (1,852) for Cinemalogue.com (1,236) on 16 Jun 2016

Whit Stillman might have been Jane Austen in a past life, because the filmmaker's sense matches the author's sensibility in this frequently…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Mal Vincent (128) for The Virginian-Pilot (129) on 16 Jun 2016

Love & Friendship is about little or nothing, yet it exposes to our rushed lives the joys of an era in which people actually talked to each…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Armond White (604) for National Review (314) on 15 Jun 2016

Beneath the impertinent, literary banter is a sedate - almost cold - vision of cruelty, greed, and selfishness…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By John Serba (472) for MLive.com (475) on 14 Jun 2016

An effervescent work, acute in its comedy, a tonal nudge in the ribs, with a slight, but perceptible vein of wry cynicism…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)
