- Interesting
For someone who has not read the book, the movie was very interesting with an unexpected twist! And as always, Jane Austen delivers a happy ending!

- Excellent Entertainment
I thought the story was interesting from beginning to end. The actors were convincing and showed great depth of character. I didn't want it to end and I wish there was a sequel.
It was well worth the price I paid. I was not familiar with this particular story and I was so pleased with the ending.

- Northanger Abbey: Masterpiece Theatre's Little Masterpiece
This film adaptation of Northanger Abbey has been a long time coming for any true Janeite.

A dash of British humour, a gleam of gothic fright, and a full cup of the endearing romance from the Regency Era.

Cheers!

"Northanger Abbey" has never been a favorite with me; Catherine is too naive to suit my tastes. Still, I wanted to see what would happen with this one, and Andrew Davies shows again why he's a master.

Catherine here is displayed in all her glory. Her naviete is evident, but she demonstrates some very great character qualities; her eagerness to think well of people is very sweet, and her loyalty to her brother is beautiful. Felicity Jones shows very clearly but very properly Catherine's unhappiness and suspicion (even in Catherine Morland!) of Isabella Thorpe's flirtation with Frederick Tilney. Her sadness and regret when she discovers how easily she's been swayed by her Gothic novel reading is palpable. The writing is fantastic and Jones carries off the character brilliantly with all the wide-eyed innocence necessary for the role.

JJ Feild's Henry Tilney is fantastic. He's everything ... Read More
