This movie is quite nice; it has beautiful landscapes and very convincing actors; and the best part of it is when the viewer starts to discover the similarities with Pride&Prejudice by Austen.
But it still stands on its own; even if some character development is a little bit implausible.
Elisabeth Dermot-Walsh does a great job, and so does Liam Cunningham, whose expressive looks haunt you even after the end of the movie.
Still, the point (or moral) of the whole movie is not so obvious. Could it be that "hapiness could be found in the darkness of places" or rather that if you take a great novel, like P&P and transform it into a story with murder and violence, you might still get away without the viewers asking what is the point.
