Hollywood Reporter

An energetic, often funny period glimpse at romance and feminism.

A.V. Club

Like the glam rock montages and wry Wes Anderson-inspired cutaways, Linda’s glamorous nihilism adds a spiky edge.

Rolling Stone

What a joy The Pursuit of Love is.

Independent

James relaxes more into her role than she did on her last outing, as a lovestruck archaeologist in The Dig.

The Times

What it does tell you very effectively, though, is how damn bored they all are.

Financial Times

Even more appealing is Andrew Scott as the aesthete Lord Merlin, prancing in pyjamas to the strains of Marc Bolan.

BBC

The less you take it seriously, the more you enjoy it.

The Guardian

It is a treat for all. Mitfordians - please, do give it a chance.
