Written by Gwyneth Hughes, based on Jane Austen's surviving letters to her sister Cassandra and niece Fanny, which make it clear she preferred not to be married despite their poor circumstances. These are played by Olivia Williams, Greta Scacchi and Imogen Poots, and their mother by Phyllida Law.
This is one of those zippy Austens with Steadicam and editing. Looks good enough and handled competently, DP David Katznelson, editor Luke Dunkley (Dark River, A Royal Night Out, National Treasure).
With Hugh Bonneville, Adrian Edmondson, Tom Hiddlestone.
