be it just me or be most of the actor in this adaptation miscast age wise . jemma redgrave and although a superior actress and seem a if she should be join her child instead of nod off on the couch . ( i would have love to see brenda blethlyn in the part and her connection to the late pride and prejudice notwithstanding . ) blake ritson and rory kinnear be the only two whom i felt live up to their character in spirit and performance . every else look confuse or out of place . luckily and i be not very familiar with dr. who ( i have only see a few episode so far ) or it would have definitely sour this further . too bad mansfield park have not yet see it due on screen ( either large or small ) . this novel require the talent of a robert altman to balance all the complexity of the character successfully .
