From Focus Features and Working Title comes an irresistible new take on Jane Austen’s iconic Sense and Sensibility: a charming, witty, and deeply relatable story of love and sisterhood starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles. This latest adaptation lends its focus to the bonds and sensitivities shared by the romantically eligible and entwined Dashwood girls, rather than leaning on their lovers to move the story along.

(PG) (1992) 2 hr. 3 min.

Robert Redford’s modern classic tells a coming-of-age and coming-into-one’s-own story in rural America in the wake of World War. Amid changing times, shifting cultural mores, and adult pressures closing in, brothers Paul & Norman Maclean (Brad Pitt and Craig Sheffer), exemplify the ways the American spirit is made of equal parts adventurer, renegade, and creature of habit. With fly fishing on the Black Creek River in Montana as the perennial backdrop of the boys’ upbringing, and a solid rock upon which to stand as life comes at them fast, this tale is told with grace, beauty, and a ferocity unique to denizens of the USA.
