FFCC members on Whit Stillman’s ‘Love & Friendship’
FFCC members on Whit Stillman’s Jane Austen adaptation Love & Friendship.
Hans Morgenstern, Independent Ethos
“Love & Friendship is more than a brilliant variation of the period film or a goof on language and characterization. It reveals the limits of manners to make for civilized society.”
Connie Ogle, The Miami Herald
“Watching Beckinsale evade and persuade and charm and infuriate is an utter delight. You might not want Lady Susan in your home, but she’s a force of nature in this amusing film.”
Michelle Solomon, Miami ArtZine
“Love & Friendship is vivid in so many ways and deserves to be cataloged as a great Austen novel on film. Lady Susan and Jane Austen would be proud.”
Alfred Soto, Humanizing the Vacuum
“So sharply etched and well paced is Love & Friendship that it represents the apex of the director’s preoccupation with the way in which irony and persiflage conspire to peak behind the surfaces they’ve already constructed.”
