Elinor C As much as I enjoyed the film, I think they have made sacrifices for the sakes of using well known names. The sisters are supposed to be 13, 16 (Winslet) and 19 (Thompson), and the mother 40 (Jones). Colonel Brandon (Rickman) is 35. I can understand lifting the ages by a few years, for the sakes of modern audiences (a 16yo looking for a husband is a little young). Performances were good, but not good to the point that I could see why they strayed so far. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review julie b Tortuous in a good way ??? Excellent cast and strong acting, and also so many subtly funny lines but I didn’t write them down. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Fabrícia F Nesta releitura de Jane Austen, as protagonistas enfrentam desafios amorosos e decepções que as obrigarão a ressignificar o sentido da vida e do verdadeiro amor. Doce, leve e criativo. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Jordy M I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the cast, and even by the contrast of personalities between Elinor and Marianne; in fact, Jane Austen's style is evident in each of these characters. However, I must admit that I didn’t enjoy either the narrative pace or the abrupt conclusion; after all, unlike Pride and Prejudice, Edward spent most of the movie away from Elinor. In addition, the bland relationship that emerged between Marianne and Brandon felt unconvincing, as I find it hard to believe that Marianne — given her indifference towards Brandon — would accept him without being more explicit about it. For this reason, the conclusion of this film seemed very unsatisfactory to me; in fact, the most realistic scene was Elinor’s outburst of emotion, as throughout the movie she accumulated so much disappointment and pain that it made perfect sense for her to react that way in the end. However, it saddens me to accept that this was all there was. I would have even preferred that the final wedding had been Elinor and Edward’s, as that would have made much more sense than the sudden leap between Marianne and Brandon, since the last thing we saw was Brandon reading to Marianne. Hence, the abruptness of all this. I don’t know if the book is the same, but certainly the script of this movie was very unsatisfactory.
