5 Minutes for Books reviewer Elizabeth is here to share about the latest Jane Austen movie in this sponsored post.
Lady Susan is one of Austen’s unforgettable characters. Sharp-tongued, witty and intelligent, charming to men and annoying to women, she lives off her rich friends and relations, drifting from one house to the next. Her poor daughter has run away from her expensive boarding school, and her mother is determined to make her marry well–and find herself a new husband to boot. Lady Susan was one of Austen’s early creations, coming to life through a series of letters that compose a short novella which was never published in Austen’s lifetime. In fact, the title of the novella, Lady Susan, is itself a later creation. Now, the character is finding new life in Whit Stillman’s Love & Friendship, opening in select theaters this week. Buy your tickets at Fandango right HERE.
Jane Austen’s work has long been fertile ground for movie-goers’ imaginations, but screen adaptations usually work best when the director uses his or her own imagination to recreate the scenes, thereby ensuring their timelessness. The reviews for Love and Friendship so far are terrific. David Edelstein, in his review on NPR’s Fresh Air, went so far as to say it’s an improvement on Jane’s original. Starring Kate Beckinsale, Chloe Savigny, Xavier Samuel, and Stephen Fry, the film’s comedy of manners is a delight. The combination of Austen’s memorable dialogue with the formality of the times and a witty and intelligent comedy make a fantastic movie-going experience!
The reviews are in! See what the critics are saying about Love & Friendship here.

Love pride and prejudice!
I have to be honest, I’ve never really been a Jane Austen fan, but the promos for this movie have intrigued me. The main character seems to be a bit more, shall we say lively? then what I expected. The banter they’ve shown in the trailers has been amusing.
I would have to say my favorite one is ” Pride and Prejudice” . Great book for sure

our fav is the notebook
Pride and Prejudice, both the book and the approximate dozen movies of it.
Emma has always been my favorite. I’m pretty excited about Lady Susan on the big screen! i read it a long time ago, but it always makes me enjoy the book more when there is a movie to help explain the generational differences. I didn’t like Emma until the Gwyneth Paltrow movie, it helped me understand the confusing parts & now I love reading the book, so hopefully Lady Susan will do the same for me.
my favorite book is Pride and Prejudice. I love the movie too!
Persuasion is my favorite, although Pride and Prejudice is high on the list also. I have never heard of this one, and it certainly sounds interesting enough to watch.

I look forward to seeing Love and Friendship because I have enjoyed all the other Jane Austen film adaptations, especially the BBC miniseries.

I am looking forward to seeing this one because the cast looks so good. Those women are so beautiful and mediveal looking.
