Dose of reality

At the time of writing there are less than 100 ratings for this film and the reviews - the first page or two are nearly all 10 out 10. The Godfather rated ~9, the higest rated film ever - The Shawshank Redemption - rated 9 point something. Only 7 films on imdb rate 9 or over. So I selected a dozen reviews and all but one have posted only 1 review. You get the idea, friends and family have piled in. This is not a hand cam embarassment like so many but the spontaneity and amateurish production and actors don't quite make it watchable. I stuck with it until I just couldn't stand any more desecration of Marianne's character any more. About 20 minutes was my limit.

Why?

The acting by "Mare" and the mother is over the top. Same for "Will." It made it challenging to watch. That said, the other actors were okay. It felt more like watching a high school play. I actually fell asleep the first time and decided to try it again. Not sure why. It is also never clear why Elinor doesn't accept a publishing job at the start that she clearly wants.

Nice Storytelling

This is a nice retelling of Austen's classic "Sense & Sensibility." It is a simplified, less complex version of the story and does a good job of updating for current times while staying true to the original plot points it includes. The female actors are way over the top with a lot of forced (and too-loud) laughter; the male actors are more balanced and believable. There isn't any chemistry between Elle & Eddie and not much between Mare & Will. Brandon is well done and Peggy is a special delight. The costumes are very well done. Worth a watch for fans of Hallmark movies or Jane Austen.
