If you like Jane Austen's books, you're guaranteed to like this movie. It's practically an Austen novel itself. I can't speak for the historical accuracy of its depiction of her life, but if it's anywhere close, she drew heavily on personal experience when creating characters like Elizabeth, Jane, and the rest of Pride and Prejudice.
