stillman captured the essence of Austin's absurdity and sarcasm but lost her characters' likability. Lady susan became the only one that's interesting and annoying, everyone else was just bland and meh. such a shame to Austin's sharp portraits of all walks of life
It' abousolutely fabulous acting, fabulous directed, but kindly like a multiple movies mixed version, too many thread bumped up at once. I really expected more. I loved the concept, and admire Sam Mendes, unfortunately, got my expectations a bit too high.
