Entertainment Reviews:
It's a novel transformed into cinema, but it's also a film that has allowed itself to be contaminated by literature. And that is the rarer, and greater, achievement.

The New York Review of Books
LOVE & FRIENDSHIP more than delivers on the comedy of manners front, but it’s also a very funny, unapologetic portrait of a diabolically clever woman...
Los Angeles Times
5 stars out of 5 -- An intricate plot is peppered with laugh-out-loud cynical throwaways and a degree of suspense as the wicked, self-involved, peculiarly admirable antiheroine tries to get her way.
Empire
Love & Friendship immediately stands out as [Whit Stillman's] most purely confectionery film to date.

MUBI
It’s the Whit Stillman movie that some of us have been waiting a long time for, and also a Jane Austen movie that goes some way toward correcting the record of dull and dutiful cinematic Janeism.
New York Times
Beckinsale rises to a splendid occasion, making us privy to Lady Susan’s manipulations while presenting a glamorous front that blinds all of the men.
Boston Globe
Rating: 4.5/5 --
Together, Kate Beckinsale and writer/director Whit Stillman ensure that "Love And Friendship" charges along at a cracking pace as Lady Susan drives a coach and horses through polite society.

Product Description:
In 18th century England, the widowed Lady Susan Vernon (Kate Beckinsale) attempts to solve her financial problems by landing a wealthy husband during a visit to her in-laws. However, her scheming is complicated by the sudden appearance of her teenage daughter Frederica (Morfydd Clark), and soon the two women are caught up in a love rectangle with a courtier (Xavier Samuel) and a suitor who's as rich as he is stupid (Tom Bennett). Chloë Sevigny co-stars as a friend of Susan's who tries to help with her matchmaking. Written and directed by Whit Stillman (who adapted the script from an early work by Jane Austen), LOVE & FRIENDSHIP made its world premiere at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival.
