Sense and Sensibility - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com |
 | | The movie business is nothing if not paradoxical, which is another way of saying that a year marked by careful attention paid to graphic and grotesque violence has also brought forth enough different approaches to the delicate novels of Jane Austen to inspire an academic symposium. |
 | | Finally, falling somewhere between those two poles, is "Sense and Sensibility," the audience-friendly Hollywood version of Austen, easygoing and aiming to please. |
 | | Like the two that came before it, "Sense and Sensibility," directed by Ang Lee ("The Wedding Banquet," "Eat Drink Man Woman") and starring Emma Thompson, who also wrote the script, is proof to any doubters of the resilience and continuing emotional power of an author who began writing 200 years ago. |
