Jane Austen’s timeless tale of sisters navigating love and loss in a new film adaptation starring Daisy Edgar-Jones.Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby, she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behavior leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her.

Austen’s classic wit and timeless themes that have enamored generations of readers will once again make their way to the big screen in a fresh film adaptation starring Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People, Where the Crawdads Sing).
