Review of Love & Friendship (2016) by Brownbat — 19 May 2016

One of Whit Stillman's best, and a great adaptation. In an interview on Bullseye, Stillman explained how most Austen adaptations can fall short, by playing up the romanticism and missing Austen's cutting humor.

This was more faithful to Austen, and her material was a great vehicle for Whit Stillman's approach to dialogue-driven comedy, which has always felt like a mix of classic and modern. If you like Stillman, or if you've just been waiting for an Austen adaptation that captures her tone better, you'll love it.
