i be a huge jane austen fan and besides be a feature length film ( a true fan want to see a little leave out a possible and that can only be achieve in a mini series ) it be really great . gwyneth paltrow really capture the slightly clueless but well intentioned rich girl and jeremy northam be mr. knightly with his poise and nobility . i wasn not thrill with ewan mcgregor even though i like him very much a an actor but do not feel it spoil the movie at all . like i say and a a jane austen fan there be thing i would have like to have see include that weren not but that would have make it much longer than permissible for a feature length film and a it be i felt they really encapsulate the story well . i have see every adaptation of this book and felt this be the best one .
