Synopsis

The story is based on Jane Austen's novel about five sisters - Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty and Lydia Bennet - in Georgian England. Their lives are turned upside down when a wealthy young man (Mr. Bingley) and his best friend (Mr. Darcy) arrive in their neighborhood. Hearing their new neighbour is a wealthy young bachelor, Mrs. Bennet (Blethyn) goes overboard contriving a match for one of her five daughters. Amiable Bingley (Simon Woods) duly falls for beautiful Jane (Pike). Unhappily, his even more eligible chum Darcy (MacFadyen) disdains the Bennets, his growing attraction to spirited Elizabeth (Knightley) handicapped by her ghastly relatives, scandal and misunderstandings galore...

Critics' reviews

"One of the most delightful and heartwarming adaptations made from Austen or anybody else (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"If only Knightley had a co-star equal to her here: The 1995 edition of Colin Firth, come to think of it, would have been perfect. As it is, we get something appropriate"

Ken Tucker: New York Magazine
"[Joe Wright] has given Austen’s novel a beguilingly youthful spin without compromising the novel’s late-eighteenth-century manners (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"In a little more than two hours, Mr. Wright and the screenwriter, Deborah Moggach, have created as satisfyingly rich and robust a fusion of romance, historical detail and genial social satire as the time allows."

Stephen Holden: The New York Times
"A movie for the age, and a keeper for the ages, 'Pride & Prejudice' brings Jane Austen’s best-loved novel to vivid, widescreen life, as well as making an undisputed star of 20-year-old Keira Knightley"

Derek Elley: Variety
"Wright clicks through Austen's familiar impediments to true love, but he never forgets he's making a movie"

Keith Phipps: AV Club
"This film's overly dramatic music and golden-lit fields are salvaged by Keira Knightley's remarkable charm (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Cynthia Fuchs: Common Sense Media
"It is a clever, elegant rendering (...) And this is because of an outstanding performance from Knightley (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian
