Review of Love & Friendship (2016) by Ginak — 29 May 2016

I didn’t expect to like this movie, but I really loved it. It is beautiful to look at, full of excellent performances, especially Kate Beckinsale and Chloe Sevigny, and it has a brilliantly witty script.

I saw a quote from a review in an ad for this film that said it was “screamingly funny” – and believe it or not – it is. The only problem is that you have to have a little patience with it – there are many characters and Whit Stillman does his best to present them as quickly and economically as possible – but once you catch on to who is who and what exactly they are after, the film is very, very funny.
