Several reviews covered a new film adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. They described it as restrained, brooding and at times gloomy, with rugged natural settings and a strong emphasis on longing, sighs and nervous laughter.

One review said the film lacked an important element found in Austen’s novel, without specifying it in the available report. Another characterized the adaptation as successful, while a separate review called it modest.
