4.0 out of 5 stars Charming (and restrained for Andrew Davies!) 22 Oct 2007
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a lovely adaptation of one of the lesser-known Jane Austen novels. It's a slight story, a satire on the effect on impressionable young girls of reading overblown novels but also a very charming love story. I would highly recommend it. It's beautiful to look at and the leads, Felicity Jones and JJ Feild, are both wonderful in their roles, with a good on-screen chemisty, with an excellent supporting cast. They are all given something to work with and take the chance very well.

I love the light-hearted scenes of dancing and flirtation. The undercurrent of danger in this louche city of Bath are signalled but not overdone, the villains are fleshed out and believable, the scenes when Catherine thinks she has lost Henry forever, the quiet moments between Catherine and Henry and his sister, all wonderfully done.

I am not an unconditional fan of Andrew Davies' adaptations of classic novels as I think he sometimes goes too far in his efforts to bring out what he regards as the hidden sexuality in the books but in this adaptation I think he got it exactly right in giving day and night dreams to Catherine with her over-wrought imagination.

As others have mentioned, this is a small screen production and has to be seen in that light but it's a little gem. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars English subtitles included 21 Nov 2007
Format:DVD
Excellent adaptation!!
I would like to point out that DVD includes English subtitles for the hard of hearing... and for English learners.
I wish all DVD released could also include English subtitles...

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny, exciting and lots of naughty looks! 25 Mar 2007
Format:DVD
I am a very very big fan of Jane Austen and I was so glad to hear that Andrew Davies (of the definitive, Firth/Ehle "Pride & Prejudice") was back! And I wasn't at all disappointed!

The production was true to the story - yet funnier, mainly due to the content of Catherine's fantasies! I also very much enjoyed the devilish glances from Henry - such naughtiness rarely comes across in other Regency-set dramas.

This was well acted and well scripted. Two very pleasant hours, especially for Austen fans and those who enjoy good period dramas. This is certainly one to go next to the BBC's P&P and Jane Eyre. TWO THUMBS UP!

4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful film, and version of the book.
Felicity Jones is fantastic in this version of Northanger Abbey. The film is great, and is a very good telling of the actual book by Jane Austen

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing film
I usually love period drama but this one didn't work for me with the annoying (for me) daydreakm/flashbacks and some of the acting very unconvincing or completely over the top. Read more
