Based on Jane Austen s beloved novel, the classic tale of love and values unfolds in the class-conscious England of the late 18th century. The five Bennet sisters including strong-willed Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) and young Lydia (Jena Malone) have all been raised by their mother (Brenda Blethyn) with one purpose in life: finding a husband. When a wealthy bachelor takes up residence in a nearby mansion, the Bennets are abuzz. Amongst the man s sophisticated circle of friends, surely there will be no shortage of suitors for the Bennet sisters. But when Elizabeth meets up with the handsome and it would seem snobbish Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen), the battle of the sexes is joined.

MovieWeb Reviews:

"For Joe Wright in his directorial film debut to tackle Jane Austen of all things, well, it’s downright ballsy, but Austen, probably watching from beyond the literary ether, can rest assured that the spirit of her endeavors remains largely intact."

- J.P. Mangalindan
