Summary
  • Sense & sensibility: Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve when she falls in love with the charming but unsuitable John Willoughby, ignoring her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behavior leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Elinor, sensitive to social convention, struggles to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Will the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love?
  • Miss Austen regrets: This speculative biopic based on Jane Austen's letters portrays the relationship between the nearly forty-year-old author, who is still unmarried, and her young niece Fanny who dreams of a romance like the ones in her aunt's books
