Whit Stillman's movies were often described as modern day equivalents of Jane Austen tales, so he's an entirely appropriate person to be adapting Austen's little known Lady Susan. Extra fun for Stillman fans is the casting of Chlove Sevigny and Kate Beckinsale in roles that would have fitted into Last Days of Disco.
I'll be honest - sometimes I struggled to follow what people were saying, but it's crisp and bright and the handling has vigor. I enjoyed the cast and Stillman's irreverent treatment.
