First off, apologies this one gets cut off, but you really don't miss anything, we were basically done and wrapping up. Lauras does a bit of a deep dive into her favorite movie of all time and it's a really good conversation. The thing about this film that folks tend to forget is...how truly amazing it really is. We've all seen, most of us multiple times and it's easy to dismiss it cause we have all seen it. But, truly, watch it again with a critical eye and you will remember how amazing it really is.

Sense and Sensibility - Editing the Academy - Laura's top 20 #17
Listen in on why Laura thinks this Jane Austen adaptation is one of the best movies out there. Romantic, funny, well-paced, beautiful costumes and a behind-the-scenes love affair that has lasted for decades.
