Review of Sense and Sensibility (1995) by Hannah D — 28 Apr 2012

Forgettable affair taken place in England in the 1800's, for which a husband dies and leaves a 500 pound inheritance to his wife and three daughters (Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, and Emile Francois).

The rest, which includes some major estate assets, goes to the son and his wife, who take in a friend (Hugh Grant), for which he intrigues both Thompson and Winslet throughout the story. One of the few films that has an incredibly high critics' rating yet I did not care for.

Even despite being released in 1995, the movie has already aged awkwardly and the situations, acting, and story are not very memorable. It is also very long and Grant is just irritating. The cinematography is the main virtue to this movie, very little else.

There are many better films from 1995 than this.
