Sense and Sensibility Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
This movie, made with love and wit, reminds us how much charm, liveliness, passion, good sense--and sensibility--Jane Austen provides.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
The sensibility may be a bit off, but there is more than enough sense involved in this mid-Atlantic Austen to make up the difference.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
It's bliss.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
We need no further proof that this material is ageless.
USA Today
Mike Clark
The movie is good fun, boasting a dozen vivid characters and two that moviegoers will take to heart.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Luminously brings to life Austen's vision of the dance of the sexes.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Sense and Sensibility is an enjoyable film, and yet it left me somehow unsatisfied.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
An exuberant, well- crafted film that gets the audience involved on a gut level.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Sense and Sensibility is an absorbing, delightful, and nuanced movie.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Thompson's script manages the neat trick of preserving the necessary niceties and decorum of civilized behavior of the time while still cutting to the dramatic quick.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
I can't say I remembered this 1995 feature too clearly a couple of days later; but I certainly had a good time as I watched it.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Demonstrates how little humankind has evolved in matters of the heart.
Film.com
John Hartl
A triumph for Taiwan's most famous director, Ang Lee.
Film.com
Bruce Reid
Sense and Sensibility is funny, expansive, and a delight to spend company with.
Film.com
Sean P. Means
Thompson's script hits its peak by keeping Austen's voice yet finding the satirical smirk behind it.
Houston Chronicle
Louis B. Parks
The film is packed with pleasing performances by stage-trained actors.
The Retro Set
Nathanael Hood
The film's true strength is how it deals primarily in emotional revelations that dip and flow with such surety that an eidetic memory of every twist and turn isn't necessary.
The New York Review of Books
Louis Menand
It sounds heretical, but the key to the movie's success is the fact that Thompson has made a number of improvements on Austen's original.
Hartford Courant
Malcolm Johnson
Through Emma Thompson's cogent screenplay and her deeply wrought performance as the more restrained sister, Elinor Dashwood, the film makes eloquent good sense.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
This exquisite endeavor remains the finest Jane Austen adaptation to date.
