Why watch?
“I thought Sense and Sensibility did a very good job of showing the deep, fluctuating and connecting relationships between siblings. I thought the cinematography was beautiful and really helped convey the messages portrayed throughout.”

When Mr Dashwood dies, his widow and three daughters are left with next to nothing, forced out of their Sussex home and into a modest cottage. Whilst Elinor is steady and sensible Elinor, her younger sister Marianne is all impulsive heart and no restraint. Between them they fall for two very different men: the quietly honourable Edward Ferrars, and the dashing, unreliable John Willoughby.
Boasting a brilliant cast and shot across genuine historic houses in Dorset, Knebworth, and Devon, this wonderfully realised new adaptation leans fully into the stiff-collared formality of the period while keeping Austen's wit intact.
