I have to confess that I have little experience with Jane Austen, or with period pieces. I only came to this film as it stars Billie Piper of Dr. Who fame.
Of course, the costumes of the period show off Piper's assets, as well as everyone else.
One thing I find fascinating is the constant focus on marriage. It seems that love hardly enters the picture. It is a competition to see what kind of a match (titles and/or money) can be made.
I was beginning to despair that Edmund (Blake Ritson) would ever choose the right woman to marry, but he got his head right in the end.
