Sense and Sensibility
A film by Georgia Oakley
w/ Daisy Edgar-Jones, Esmé Creed-Miles, Caitríona Balfe
Rated PG
2hr 12min
After Mr. Dashwood passes away, his estate goes to his firstborn son, John (Tom Brooke). John's snobbish wife, Fanny (Stacy Martin), pushes the widowed Mrs. Dashwood (Caitríona Balfe) and her three daughters—Elinor (Daisy Edgar-Jones), Marianne (Esmé Creed-Miles), and young Margaret (Bodhi Rae Breathnach)—out of their comfortable home into financial uncertainty.
What makes the film a fresh, if not altogether revelatory, take on the material is the intimacy and sincerity with which it presents Elinor and Marianne’s parallel journeys.
