This film really took me by surprise, not by how good it was, but by how much I liked it. This excellent film completely took me in and I absolutely loved it. There's really not much to say about this one. The story is great, and brilliantly adapted from the famous Jane Austen novel. The cinematography is excellent, as are the props, costumes, etc...you are truly transported into the era. The music is good; the writing is good; the cast is good...everything about this film is good. Special mention must go to Keira Knightley Oscar nominated performance. It really was that good!

I loved her in this film!

Her second great performance of 2005, though quite different from her role as bounty hunter Domino Harvey in Domino. McFayden finds just the right notes for the somber Mr. Darcy. Donald Sutherland is quite amusing as the stern …
