"I do love this movie. Emma Thompson wrote the screenplay and all players are wonderful. Kate Winslet is one of my favorite actors and I love her as Miss Marianne here. Of course Alan Rickman and Hugh Grant are quite dashing. Recommended. "

"REWATCH: I truly adore this film with my whole heart. Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson are always the best, but their performances in this film are astounding and amazingly heartfelt. Likewise, Alan Rickman and Hugh Grant make the swooniest, heart-fluttering romantic leads. I always tear up when Colonel Brandon rescues Marianne from the rain and Edward proposes to Elinor. It’s genuinely one of the most dreamy movies and one of my favorite Jane Austen stories. "
