Movies Like Pride and Prejudice: Love & Friendship

Pride and Prejudice fans looking for a lesser-known Austen adaptation should look no further than Love & Friendship, an adaptation of Austen's novella Lady Susan (although, confusingly, the movie actually takes its name from a piece of juvenalia from Austen's early work). Wealthy young widow Lady Susan is out to secure wealthy matches for her and her daughter, and she's not above some very petty manipulations to make it happen. Susan is decidedly more manipulative and less likable than a character like Elizabeth Bennet, but she's also the kind of deliciously difficult character you never want to stop watching.
