Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
The movie is well cast from top to bottom; like many British films, it benefits from the genius of its supporting players.

Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
Keira Knightley, in a witty, vibrant, altogether superb performance, plays Lizzie's sparky, questing nature as a matter of the deepest personal sacrifice.

This Pride & Prejudice is a stellar adaptation, bewitching the viewer completely and incandescently with an exquisite blend of emotion and wit.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
The appealing Knightley goes in a promising young actress and comes out a star, but the faultless cast of veterans and fresh-faced newcomers imbues every character with flawed and immensely appealing humanity.

Los Angeles Times Carina Chocano
With outstanding performances, including a turn by Judi Dench as the evil Lady Catherine de Bourg, Pride & Prejudice is a joy from start to finish.

Philadelphia Inquirer Carrie Rickey
Whatever number it is chronologically on the P&P parade, Wright's film ranks first in verve. Quite simply, it is the essential P&P.

Seeing the splendid new version of Pride & Prejudice can be hazardous to your health: There's a very real danger of swooning.

Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern
Still, the cynosure of all eyes is honest, articulate Elizabeth, her own woman in an era when women belonged to men, and at the same time full of love. Lizzie is the best, and Keira Knightley does right by her.

The Hollywood Reporter Ray Bennett
Turns Jane Austen's nimble satire into a lumbering gothic romance.
