Love and Friendship | Ratings & Reviews

"Whit Stillman’s films to date have been populated by measured, mannered, often upper class folks jostling for position as they climb the rungs of society. Withering looks, poisonous tongues, expert manipulation and brutal betrayal propel efforts such as The Last Days of Disco, so it comes as little surprise that Stillman proves adept at a comic Jane Austen adaptation here with Love and Friendship."

Flicks, Steve NewallFlicks

"[Stillman] takes the inherent sophistication of Austen’s worldview and introduces just the right note of sly, self-deflating mockery."

VarietyVariety

"Beckinsale and Stillman do their inspiration proud: Finally, a Jane Austen movie that's fresh and deliciously rotten at the same time."

Time OutTime Out

"It's the Whit Stillman movie that some of us have been waiting a long time for, and also a Jane Austen movie that goes some way toward correcting the record of dull and dutiful cinematic Janeism."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Beckinsale is a hoot to watch as a character with no redeemable qualities, except for her cunning ability to get what she wants."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"This witty black comedy of manners and machinations feels like it has more in common with the works of Oscar Wilde and Wes Anderson than Sense & Sensibility."

StuffStuff

"I can't think of a more wickedly modern romantic comedy."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"Remains buoyant through most of its short running time but lacks the stirring emotional hooks found in the best Austen works, on the page as well as the screen."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"The funniest, most deliciously venomous Jane Austen movie ever made..."
