Brilliant & Romantic Continuation of a Classic
15 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I consider myself a pretty die-hard fan of both the original book and 95 adaptation, and this version of what could possibly be the future Jane Austen left off the page for her P&P characters was everything I didn't know I needed; a Darcy who smiles and laughs but whose core broody proudness also still makes an appearance, an incredibly sweet romance for Georgiana that thank heavens isn't with Colonel Fitzwilliam, a relationship progression for Darcy and Elizabeth which feels authentic within the context of their past, a more fleshed out in person back and forth between Darcy and Wickham, and a surprisingly deep side of Lydia... or at least as deep as Lydia can get, haha. The script is also witty and sharp, the cinematography gorgeous, and most importantly, I could see pretty much every actor they cast playing their characters in a straight adaptation of the original classic story.
