Reviews
|
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
Poised, delicate, powerful, hovering between poignancy and pealing laughter, it is a feast formed by skill and serendipity.

Time -
[It presents] us with a vast range of richly developed, gorgeously played characters ... and mov[es] them gracefully through time and a lot of very pretty spaces without ever losing its conviction, its concentration or our bedazzled attention. [18 Dec 1995]

|
Variety -
Crucially for such an elaborately dressed production, the characters all come thoroughly alive with their ready wits and pulsing emotions, overcoming the two-century gap with seeming effortlessness.

The New York Times -
Grandly entertaining...matches the Austen-based "Clueless" for sheer run. [13 Dec 1995]

|
USA Today -
Thompson has had the good sense and sensitivity to get Austen right, while letting Winslet steal the show.
