Christmas provides the ideal opportunity to unwind with a sumptuous, emotionally charged romantic drama, and Netflix has just delivered the perfect answer this week.

This interpretation of the legendary Jane Austen story, widely regarded as one of the finest adaptations of the novel by devotees, features Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet, a young lady who clashes with a seemingly pompous suitor, Mr Darcy (portrayed by Matthew Macfadyen), reports the Mirror.

Another viewer declared: “Pride and Prejudice was the best movie I’ve seen in a very long time, if not the best I’ve ever seen. This movie is a work of art, an emotional masterpiece. Watching this movie was actually a life changing experience.”

A third proclaimed the 2005 version is “the best Pride and Prejudice adaptation to date”, explaining: “Joe Wright creates a brilliant visual of Jane Austen’s classic novel. The imagery of the film is quite breathtaking itself. The setting of the scenes range from the British countryside to the extravagant ballrooms.”

“Best love movie ever,” a final admirer declared. “I watch movies a lot with my husband. That is what we love to do. And I must say that this movie has captured my heart. It is now my favourite love movie of all time. I don’t go changing my favourite movie all the time either. I thought it was charming and witty.

“Not only is it funny and interesting. But it’s one of the best love stories of all time! I find myself normally being disappointed or bored when watching movies based in that time. But this movie is by far anything but. I’ve watched it 6 times in 3 days. And trust me I don’t do that stuff!

“I highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for a love story of all stories. It has captured my heart. I don’t think I have been this passionate about a movie since I was little.” Is Pride and Prejudice making an appearance on your festive viewing schedule this year?
