One of the greatest love stories of all time, Pride & Prejudice, comes to the screen in a glorious adaptation starring Keira Knightley. When Elizabeth Bennet (Knightley) meets the handsome Mr. Darcy (Matthew MacFadyen), she believes he is the last man on earth she could ever marry. But as their lives become intertwined in an unexpected adventure, she finds herself captivated by the very person she swore to loathe for all eternity. Based on the beloved masterpiece by Jane Austen, it is the classic tale of love and misunderstanding that sparkles with romance, wit and emotional force.

This fresh adaptation shakes the dust off Jane Austen’s early 19th-century novel of manners and gives it a good airing out. -Austin Chronicle
