Love & Friendship - Jane Austen

The attractive widow Lady Susan Vernon (Kate Beckinsale) retreats to the country estate of her brother-in-law Charles Vernon (Justin Edwards) to sit out rumours of her love affair with the married Lord Manwaring. Quickly Lady Susan comes up with a plan. To become financially independent, she wants to marry well. Within a short time, young Reginald DeCourcy (Xavier Samuel), the brother of her hated sister-in-law Catherine (Emma Greenwell), falls hopelessly for her in Churchill. But then Lady Susan's daughter Frederica (Morfydd Clark) shows up and threatens to undermine her mother's fine-spun intrigues. Without further ado, Lady Susan decides to marry off her daughter as well. Kate Beckinsale shines in an outstanding Jane Austen adaptation!...
