Review of Sense and Sensibility (1995) by Mark H — 05 May 2009
Stately, but lively story of the Dashwood sisters and their various suitors. Emma Thompson is shy, sensible Elinor, Kate Winslet, the brash, spirited Marianne. Compelling romantic drama is spiked with surprising wit and humor.
One of those films that deservedly received Academy Award nominations for acting, costumes, cinematography, music, and won for its screenplay, which Emma Thompson herself adapted from Jane Austen's first novel.
One could quibble that at 136 minutes, it is a bit long, but that would be at best, a minor flaw.
