    Purchased for my mother for her birthday. She loves the film and Emma Thompson, so I knew she would enjoy the book. It's very interesting and has a lot of things in it I'd never heard about before and lovely pictures. It was bittersweet to see photos of Alan Rickman, whom we miss so much.

    Emma Thompson's filming diary is delightful, and I read it all in one afternoon.

    My goodness, Emma Thompson is an amazing blend of intelligence, humor, and capability -- or at least, that's how she comes across in this collection of her random thoughts while filming Sense and Sensibility (1995), which she not only starred in, but wrote the screenplay for. (And she won the Oscar for Best Screenplay, too!) If you're not particularly interested in how movies get made, you might not be too keen on this book, but I found it fascinating, hilarious, and informative. So many insights into the story and characters, so many incisive and wry comments about modern life as an actor, so many random and chuckle-inducing anecdotes.

    However, a sprinkling of bad language and some casual mentions of sexual matters prevents me from universally recommending this book. Alas. I wish it was cleaner, because it's lovely overall.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Inside look at the making of the movie
    Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Sense and Sensibility is one of my favorite movies and this book does not disappoint in providing the back story. Emma Thompson, who won an Academy Award for writing the screenplay, kept a diary before and during the filming. The diary is interesting and provides plenty of information on how the days progressed during filming and the interaction the actors had with each other. What it doesn't provide is any juicy tidbits or gossip - which is fine with me. In addition, the book contains the entire script although it is not the final, shooting script - but very close to it. There are photos interspersed throughout the book and I would have liked to have seen more photos - not from the movie, but photos of how they shot the movie which is why I didn't give this 5 stars. It's a quick read and after finishing it, I viewed the movie again knowing some of the back story.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2017

    Love this screenplay/book! Since I enjoy Sense & Sensibility the movie and have re-watched it many times, while reading the screenplay I could certainly see the scenes playing out. Emma Thompson richly deserved her Academy award for Best Adapted Screenplay on this one! I enjoyed the "diary" portion/half especially. Reading Ms. Thompson's daily musings, perspectives and anecdotes was very engaging, entertaining and a great behind-the-scenes look at how a movie is actually filmed vs the end product. There are no revolutionary "ah-ah's" but just a clear view of little, personal things that make the filming process interesting. I highly, highly recommend this book for anyone who loves the Sense & Sensibility story and an insider's perspective of making a film.

    Hacía tiempo que quería este libro, porque soy una gran admiradora de Alan Rickman y también de Emma Thomson y por ello me encanta la película Sentido y Sensibilidad. He disfrutado enormemente el diario de Emma durante el rodaje compartiendo anécdotas del set y de sus compañeros. Su guión, ganador de un Óscar, es sin duda un artículo que merece la pena coleccionar y tener cerca si amas esta bella obra.
