Love & Friendship
A delightfully wry and subtly subversive period comedy of manners unfolds as a widowed Lady Susan navigates 18th-century high society with audacious self-interest, expertly manipulating romantic entanglements for both herself and her daughter. Unlike typical Austen adaptations focused on innocent heroines, this film centers on a brilliantly calculating protagonist whose charm masks a ruthless pragmatism, offering a refreshingly cynical perspective on marriage and social climbing. The film leans into the playful artifice of its setting, delivering a sparkling, witty atmosphere that prioritizes droll observation over grand passion, and examines the limited agency afforded to women within strict societal constraints through a lens of mischievous amusement rather than outright condemnation.
