Um. Spent the whole film trying to remember the name Talulah Riley - she has a thankless part as the more inward Bennet sister. You sense she would have been more than happy to go off with cousin vicar Tom Hollander, and spends the film in a sulk. I wonder what happened to the rest of the sisters and if there's a sequel there.. What am I talking about? We watched this deliberately as a prequel to today's Death Comes to Pemberley, so I daresay we might find out.
But still, there's a spin off opportunity I think. Jena Malone is the least recognisable sister - we saw her in Nocturnal Animals and Inherent Vice (she's American). Lovely to see Donald Sutherland again.
Lovely film. I think I would be intrigued to see the MGM Greer Garson / Laurence Olivier version.
