Movie review - "Love and Friendship" (2016) ***1/2 (re watching)

 Whit Stillman is an idea adapter of Jane Austen. I'm not familiar with the novel but it's clear enough - Kate Beckinsale is a flirt with no money who wants to find a husband for herself and her daughter. Beckinsale plays the best character although there's a funny idiot aristocrat. Xavier Samuel suits this sort of story. The daughter is under cast. Chloe Svegniy feels underused as the best friend - it's good to see her but maybe she would've been better as the antaognist sister in law.

I like the use of titles. It skips emotion. This is my second time watching. It doesn't register for some reason. It's good though. I'm aware this is contradictory.
