Love & Friendship

“Supremely elegant and delicately filigreed adaptation.”—Variety

Fresh off its Sundance Film Festival debut, Love & Friendship is Stillman’s long-awaited adaptation of Jane Austen’s subversive early novella Lady Susan. Kate Beckinsale stars as the unscrupulous Lady Susan Vernon, who deftly navigates British high society while trying to arrange marriages for herself and her daughter with the help of scheming American exile Alicia Johnson (Chloë Sevigny). Early reviews are praising the film’s meticulous period detail and whip-smart delivery of Austen’s dialogue, with Variety calling Beckinsale’s performance “irresistibly devious.” (92 mins., DCP)
