I loved it. Beautiful settings -- the shore, the countryside, forests, library -- oh my God, that library, -- interiors... Having Anne Hathaway play Austen and James McAvoy play Lefroy didn't hurt that much either.
The film follows the love story between Jane Austen and Thomas Lefroy. She's a young woman who wants to "live by her pen", he has to stay in the country for a while. While indeed there's more fiction to plot than truth, I believe it's executed nicely and in the spirit of Austen's works. It's been said that Lefroy was inspiration behind's Austen's (in)famous Darcy.
