Love & FriendshipIt's a bit cheesy, ridiculous and ironic tale retold in a light manner and keeps it all on surface despite of possessing such a deep and layered concept. Having said that, it doesn't suggest in any way that it doesn't lacks issues; it is chalky around the edges and volatile on emotions. The screenplay is fast paced and well structured; something that is unfamiliar to such genre, and that is what hooks the audience and keeps them on the edge of the seat. The technical aspects like production, costume and make-up design along with background score, is not one of its strength. The adaptation by Whit Stillman is smart and finely edited which latter also helps him on executing the anticipated vision as it grows effortless. It is quite difficult to portray such manipulative dislikeable character (addition to that she is hilarious too in her brutal sarcastic nature) and still mark an impression; is one of the main reason why Kate Beckinsale seems an appropriate choice. The tone of the feature is poised and visually rich that may come off a bit pretentious as it lacks proper technical aspects that should have actually been supportive and instead falls against it. Love & Friendship is not so lovable but surely a trustworthy friend that has an immensely powerful central character that changes one's perspective through its twisted yet somewhat justifying act.

What I got to say about "Love & Friendship" is a good movie full of amazing grace. "It's a triumph and a delightful of a movie." The performances by the cast is really good. "Kate Beckinsale gives her best performance of her career." Whit Stillman's directing is good alongside his adaptation of author Jane Austen's novel was pretty good for my opinion. The cinematography is good. The choreography is good. The score in this film was so breathtaking to listen to. Finally, the effects are good as well.So incredibly smart and very very funny. I love Jane Austen but this is so different to a lot of her more well known work; not necessarily better but definitely not worse. It feels as though some of the charismatic but conniving side characters she has in her novels have now become the main character. Lady Susan is definitely not a moral or always likable person but she is engaging and I did find myself rooting for her. Also it was beautifully filmed; the music created just the right atmosphere, the acting was superb. Overall I have only good things to say about this film, I adored it.Love & Friendship is a movie that truly deserves its rotten tomatoes score. ---Yidioo

I have not read the Jane Austen novella this is based on but it was a nice simple movie that I don't think will remember a week from now. I really enjoyed the character introductions. They would show them with title cards as they stood outside the house. It seems like a simple thing but it was nice device that also gave you a little introduction to what the character might be like. The actual story is nothing of note. There's some romantic and marriage drama but the dialogue is fun throughout. Kate Beckinsale and Chloë Sevigny play off each other well. Tom Bennett is enjoyable in this if only to see other characters react to him. All in all, I wouldn't make a point to watch this but if it shows up on TV it's worth a watch.

Yes, you guessed it; all the decent bits are in the trailer and the other 1 hour and 29 minutes is garbage.This should have been fascinating and entertaining. However, unless you have extensive knowledge of the story you would be lost in seconds. Terribly acted, terribly edited with horrible, humourless music that made my skin crawl, the only thing that was worth the watch were the ridiculous and hilarious offerings of Martin.TOTALLY disjointed, Jane Austen wouldn't have even recognised her own story.Dressed up rubbish flouting how stupid the upper classes are on a good day, let alone a bad, and how Kate Beckinsale was possibly one of the last people I would ever have cast in this role which requires clever subtlety, nuance and sauciness. She gave it plain bread roll without any butter, let alone jam.Biggest waste of money on a movie in a while, for me. Rubbish.
