If whispered monologues were currency, Sense and Sensibility would settle the national debt.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Sense and Sensibility?

Director clearly thought Sense and Sensibility was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Sense and Sensibility actually is?

Just got out of Sense and Sensibility and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Unpopular opinion: Sense and Sensibility is the most overrated film of the decade

Rewatched Sense and Sensibility last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Sense and Sensibility?

Honestly, Sense and Sensibility would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
