Poor adaptation of Jane Austen — 1 year ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

The worst adaptation of a Jane Austen novel I have seen. Billie Piper is totally miscast as the demure, almost priggish Fanny Price, and while the film roughly follows the plot of the book, there are too many missing characters, and other unnecessary changes. There’s no sense of the 18th century at all; it looks like modern people dressed up in costume, and the camera work is bizarre at times. it’s strange how the BBC can make such excellent period drama productions, where as those made for ITV (such as this one) are generally much poorer quality. I’m glad we got this free with a newspaper rather than paying for it.
