The Breakdown
- Faithful to the novel's wit and social order
- Period detail and costumes carry the story
- Marriage and duty treated as the point, not the trap
- Some modern casting flourishes but thesis intact
- Light on the darker edges of the book
Side Effects
ancestors nodding approvingly, modern adapters seething

Loved this? Mainline the 2005 Pride & Prejudice next — same Austen energy, stronger tension.
