Do we really need another adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility? After speaking with the cast of director Georgia Oakley’s bold new film, the answer is an undeniable yes. 

By stripping away the polished veneer, pristine makeup, and rigid etiquette of traditional costume dramas, this adaptation uncovers an intimate, raw, and feminist portrait of the Dashwood women surviving on their own terms. 

In this episode of The Parting Shot, Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott sat down with the cast—including Daisy Edgar-Jones (Elinor Dashwood), Caitríona Balfe (Mrs. Dashwood), Esmé Creed-Miles (Marianne Dashwood), Frank Dillane (John Willoughby), and Herbert Nordrum (Colonel Brandon).
