invisibleunicornninja I don't think that its possible to get anything out of this movie unless you are a fan of other versions of this. The acting is bad. The camerawork is flat. The dialogue is dull. NOTHING HAPPENS. This movie so boring that just thinking about it makes me want to take a nap. The audio/visual quality is so poor it made me think that the movie was much older when I watched it than it is (though that may have been the intention). Have I mentioned that nothing interesting happens? I would never recommend this movie. The only reason I would ever bring it up is to give it as an example for a boring movie.

MissSimonetta Okay, non-fan might be too strong a description; I just find it hard to get into Jane Austen, though I do enjoy Pride and Prejudice. I caught this 1995 version of Sense and Sensibility on TCM last night, solely because of Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman being present, and was shocked at how riveted I was from start to finish.Complete with handsome production values, fantastic direction from Ang Lee, lovely cinematography, and of course, the excellent performances, all make this a charming little romantic dramedy. It's also opened my eyes to just how good an actress Kate Winslet is, having had limited exposure to her until recently.Great film.

ritu_ruch Sense and sensibility is the definition of perfection and of the best film ever made based on a book.Jane austen would be proud of such a brilliant adaptation.A film about the two sisters Elinor and Marriame primarily and how they are so different in their sensibilities while Elinor just doesn't express what she feels Marriame is the exact opposite saying everything that is in her mind.Ang Lee direction is a marvel and the set and costumes just are jaw dropping beautiful.Kate winslet, Ema Thompson, Alan rickman, Hugh Grant,Greg wise are just flawless with able support from the entire cast.Ema Thompson expressions and Kate winslet acting are worth every minute to watch.sense and sensibility is one of my favourite films which just blew me away with pure perfection.

g-bodyl Sense and Sensibility is a remarkable period piece movie and it explores the themes of love and poverty and the connection between the two. During the nineteenth century, marriage laws very vastly different and more complicated than they are in modern times. Just because you love someone, does not mean you can marry them, as this movie makes perfectly clear. Nonetheless, this movie is a epic, sweeping romance story and it is an impressive feat, because I am not a fan of these kind of romance stories. Luckily for this film, it is far from boring and I felt for all of the main characters. Ang Lee's film is about a family whose fortunes suddenly disappeared after the death of the wealthy father/husband. Now penniless, the family is forced to find a new home. The two eldest daughters find love interests, but are conflicted because of no finances or dowries in order to provide for marriage. The acting is one of the strongest suits about the movie. Everyone does a marvelous job and made me feel for each character, whether in positive or negative terms. Emma Thompson, whom also written the movie, does a wonderful job as the logical eldest daughter, Elinor. Kate Winslet does a fine job as the second eldest daughter, the romantic Marianne. I liked Hugh Grant's dashing character, the awkward Edward. Finally, Alan Rickman does a good job as another love interest, Colonel Brandon. Overall, Sense and Sensibility is a fantastic movie and that is no surprise with Ang Lee at the helm. The film is never boring and you can feel for the characters as they desire for true love, which is nearly impossible due to nineteenth century strict laws. The themes from the classic Jane Austen movie are still here, and it gives the movie a complete feeling and scope of this time period. The costume design and the cinematography are fantastic as well. All-in-all, a fantastic period-piece romance. My Grade: A-
