	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"One of the most delightful and heartwarming adaptations made from Austen or anybody else (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Ken Tucker New York Magazine	"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"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"[Joe Wright] has given Austen’s novel a beguilingly youthful spin without compromising the novel’s late-eighteenth-century manners (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"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."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It is a clever, elegant rendering (...) And this is because of an outstanding performance from Knightley (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Derek Elley Variety	"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"	POS
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"Wright clicks through Austen's familiar impediments to true love, but he never forgets he's making a movie"	POS
United States	Cynthia Fuchs Common Sense Media	"This film's overly dramatic music and golden-lit fields are salvaged by Keira Knightley's remarkable charm (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
