In Austen's gentle parody of gothic fiction, Felicity Jones (Meadowlands) plays romance addict Catherine Morland. Invited to a medieval country house that appeals to her most lurid fantasies, she forms a close friendship with the younger son on the estate, Henry Tilney (JJ Feild, The Secret Life of Mrs. Beeton), but their budding romance is mysteriously cut short. Adapted by Andrew Davies.
When I started the movie I was delighted. It followed the book well, and was super enjoyable. Then there was a completely random and uncalled for nude scene that pretty much ruined it for me. I certainly wouldn't watch it with young kids.
