“She is tolerable but not handsome enough to tempt me,” says the imperious Mr. Darcy (Matthew MacFadyen) to his friend Charles Bingley (Simon Woods) in the latest – and one of the best – adaptations of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.” The woman in question, Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightley, who triumphantly comes into her own here), has overheard his indiscretion. The glint in her eye tells us she will soon have her say – not to mention her way. And so she does, setting in motion one of the great romances in the canon… This version is no dumbed-down escapade catering to the youth market. If young audiences respond to it at all – as I am sure they will – it will be because Wright has brought out the vigor in Austen’s romance in a way that the other adaptations I’ve seen never quite accomplished. – Christian Science Monitor
