Sense and Sensibility — PG (A-ll)

Director Georgia Oakley and screenwriter Diana Reid have adapted Jane Austen’s 1811 novel Sense and Sensibility into a new film. The production explores human nature and the social refinements of the era, making it suitable for various age groups.

The story follows two sisters with contrasting temperaments: the prudent Elinor Dashwood, played by Daisy Edgar-Jones, and the headstrong Marianne Dashwood, played by Esmé Creed-Miles. After their father dies, the sisters, their mother, and their youngest sibling Margaret must share their home with their half-brother John and his wife Fanny.

The plot centers on the family conflict that arises when Elinor develops an attachment to Edward Ferrars, the brother of Fanny. The sisters eventually face new living arrangements after a distant relative, Mrs. Jennings, offers them a tenancy.
