Movie Review: LOVE & FRIENDSHIP

Based on a Jane Austen novella and set in the 1790s, Love & Friendship centers on beautiful widow Lady Susan Vernon (Kate Beckinsale), who has come to the estate of her in-laws to wait out colorful rumors about her dalliances circulating through polite society. Whilst there, she decides to secure a husband for herself and her rather reluctant debutante daughter, Frederica (Morfydd Clark).
