It’s been nearly 20 years since Joe Wright’s 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice was released, and it remains, in my opinion, the best version of Jane’s Austen’s beloved novel.

“Life is beautiful and messy and complicated and sometimes it doesn’t look the way you think it’s supposed to look and that’s okay. Keep going and always be brave.” This was the whole message of this film. I think that the established film critics have got this wrong and showing a bit of snobbery and…
