Georgia Oakley’s ‘Sense and Sensibility’ trades Austen’s wit for moody realism
A new adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel, directed by Georgia Oakley, offers a darker, more naturalistic take on the story. Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles, the film emphasizes physical hardship and psychological realism over the wit and comedy of the 1995 version. While praised for its atmospheric visuals and Frank Dillane’s performance, critics note it lacks the star power and humor of its predecessor.
