"While I did find it all very old-fashioned in its approach to love, it’s all very charming and anchored by fantastic performances from its lead actors"
Also: "I was really impressed by Herbert Nordrum as Colonel Brandon, the man who is first set up with Maryanne, only for her to choose someone else"

"Despite its adequate lead performances, and some spitfire standouts in the supporting cast, the movie seldom conjures the necessary mood for a modern adaptation, leaving it trapped between rote retelling and half-hearted class satire"
Also: "There are certainly standouts who deliver alluring, energetic performances, from Fiona Shaw as the talkative, kindly aunt Mrs. Jennings to the Dashwoods’ larger-than-life neighbor, Sir John Middleton (Turlough Convery), but they also overshadow the leads by several degrees"

"Refreshingly, the new “Sense and Sensibility” isn’t a reconfiguration for the 21st century as much as an oak-solid, faithful envisioning made with sensitivity and a classical temperament"
