A new adaptation of Sense and Sensibility opened in Brazilian cinemas on October 29. Daisy Edgar-Jones plays Elinor Dashwood and Esmé Creed-Miles plays her sister Marianne. After a family upheaval, the sisters face financial difficulties and choices about love.

Jane Austen’s novel was published anonymously in 1811. The 2026 film is directed by Georgia Oakley, with a screenplay by Diana Reid.

This adaptation is separate from Ang Lee’s 1995 film starring Emma Thompson. The sisters and their changed circumstances offer a starting point for meeting the new cast.
