Full Plot Details

When Mr. Dashwood (Tom Wilkinson) dies, he must leave the bulk of his estate to the son by his first marriage, which leaves his second wife and their three daughters Elinor (Dame Emma Thompson), Marianne (Kate Winslet), and Margaret (Emilie François), in straitened circumstances. They are taken in by a kindly cousin, but their lack of fortune affects the marriageability of practical Elinor and romantic Marianne. When Elinor forms an attachment for the wealthy Edward Ferrars (Hugh Grant), his family disapproves and separates them. And though Mrs. Jennings (Elizabeth Spriggs) tries to match the worthy (and rich) Colonel Brandon (Alan Rickman) to her, Marianne finds the dashing and fiery John Willoughby (Greg Wise) more to her taste. Both relationships are sorely tried.

Movie Reviews

The New York Review of Books - 10/10 by Louis MenandIt 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.
Common Sense Media - 10/10 by Ellen MacKayA lush and witty telling of Jane Austen's novel.
Netflix - 10/10 by James RocchiSense and Sensibility is a triumph, and a film to be treasured.
Houston Chronicle - 10/10 by Louis B. ParksThe film is packed with pleasing performances by stage-trained actors.
San Francisco Examiner - 10/10 by Barbara ShulgasserUnlike so many other movies of literary provenance, it is clear from the start that this one is going to be entertainment, not homework. Lee serves up this sweetmeat without fuss, without the super-seriousness of filmmakers awed by their literary material.
Time - 10/10 by Richard SchickelIt's an exuberant, well- crafted film that gets the audience involved on a gut level even before the opening credits are over.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 10/10 by Liam LaceyPoised, delicate, powerful, hovering between poignancy and pealing laughter, it is a feast formed by skill and serendipity.
New York Times - 10/10 by Janet MaslinWe need no further proof that this material is ageless.
Scott Renshaw's Screening Room - 9/10 by Scott RenshawThompson is outstanding, but her supporting cast is just as impressive, if not more so.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Rita KempleyThis rapturous romance is not only laugh-out-loud funny but demonstrates how little humankind has evolved in matters of the heart.
