Pride and Prejudice, Cut (2019)
Clumsy film with a fundamentally wrong basis
6 November 2021 - 1 out of 4 users found this review helpful.
It was quickly apparent that the story told in the film was a thinly-veiled parody of Pride and Prejudice itself, and not very well done at that. Philippa saying "I'm hearing something alarming" in particular was a very bad parody of Catherine de Bourgh.
Apart from all the other negative points, the whole basis of the film was flawed. People were shocked at the idea of an American woman playing Lizzie Bennett, supposedly a quintessentially English role. Does nobody remember Jennifer Ehle (American, though born to a British mother) playing Lizzie Bennett in the 1995 BBC version of Pride and Prejudice?
