Love and Friendship, Austen's least revered story, hits the screen with a loud BANG! Lady Susan (Kate Beckinsale) is witty, flattering and charming, all the while being cunning, manipulative and self serving. She easily flips the situation to show her in the most positive light, much to the vexation of the women populace and to the bedazzlement of the men.
Beckinsale hits her stride as the anti hero of the film and has never been better on screen. The supporting players are all hilarious as well as her servile friends or 'unwarranted' enemies.
The utter charm of this film will speckle your eyes with wonder and leave you wanting more.
Love and Friendship will makes you ponder what those words truly mean, and whether or not they are of any use to you. A brilliant film. 8.7/10
