SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

TheBigSick This is possibly the best ever Jane Austen adaptation. Ang Lee simply shows his extreme talent in directing a film. The fast, suspenseful and assured direction of this film stuns everyone, and the audiences have to hold the breath all the time because they never know what will happen in the next minute. Emma Thompson is perhaps too good for her role, and I cannot understand why she did not win her second Oscar. Kate Winslet breaks out in this particularly well-scripted movie, and this movie was exactly the reason why she was cast for Titanic. The music score, make-up and production design are just beyond words.

Mihai Toma After three sisters and their mother are sent away from their home by their greedy step-brother who inherited all the fortune, they are forced to live in a small remote cottage. Obviously, their salvation remains in marriage with a wealthier partner who can offer them a better life, but this aspect will prove to be much harder than expected, as the pretenders can hardly accept such poor wives.It's a movie which presents the difficult lives of three sisters who are forced to live in poverty after their father's death. Although they fall in love pretty soon after, their lovers leave them as sudden as they appeared, leaving them hopeless, especially due to their social position and lack of wealth. Although it had a quite interesting premise, the result proved to be a mixture of boredom and seemingly pointless events which ultimately lead to a predictable and unsatisfying happy ending. It left an impression that it simply lacked any perspective, with simplistic characters and action, bound to make you yawn at an alarming rate. While it's not a bad movie overall, it lacks a strong premise and overall suspense, which leaves you without any feelings for the characters and their unfortunate fate. It failed in attracting the viewer and convincing him that its characters deserve a better future than they have, thus leaving him (the viewer) without any satisfaction after the end.It's a below average movie which can be easily skipped.

lokihattere From beginning to end this movie has comedy, romance, and angst in it to help move it along. A great adaption to the book and by far the best seen even compared to modern versions. Grant plays the broody character that is quiet and submissive to culture times. Thompson plays the quiet shy mouse that doesn't hesitate to help her family. The side stories that twine themselves to the main characters one way or the other keep it entertaining. The guest starring Hugh Laurie from House MD and Alan Rickman from Harry Potter are a great additions to the cast. By far this movie is 2 hours and 17minutes of a great classic not many other movies compare to.

SnoopyStyle John Dashwood (James Fleet) is left his father's entire fortune as required by law. The female heirs, his stepmother, half-sisters Marianne Dashwood (Kate Winslet), Elinor Dashwood (Emma Thompson) and Margaret Dashwood are given only £500 per year. John promises his father to take care of them but his greedy wife Fanny convinces him to give them nothing. Fanny's brother Edward Ferrars (Hugh Grant) visits and becomes close to Elinor. Fanny keeps them apart and the women move into kindly cousin Sir John Middleton's cottage. Mrs. Jennings is intent on being a matchmaker. Middleton's military buddy Colonel Brandon (Alan Rickman) falls immediately for Marianne but she is looking for literary epic passion. That's when she is rescued by the dashing John Willoughby (Greg Wise). Only Willoughby has secrets. Mr. and Mrs. Palmer (Hugh Laurie, Imelda Staunton) visit with poor Lucy Steele (Imogen Stubbs) who reveals that she's secretly engaged to Edward for the past 5 years.This is a cast of terrific actors led by Winslet and Thompson. The great thing that Ang Lee does here in this movie is to let them act. His unobtrusive style is perfect in giving these actresses space to do their work. The other co-starts are also great. Hugh Grant is adorably dorky and Alan Rickman is very compelling. Greg Wise is not the most charming guy in the cast and that is the movie's only handicap. Willoughby is suppose to be this dashing charming character above Brandon. Wise doesn't have that level of presence. Thompson and Winslet are so amazing that the movie can overcome any minor deficit.
