Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility is getting a fresh screen adaptation that connects the author’s timeless observations on love and relationships with the realities of modern dating.  The film explores how behaviours such as love bombing and ghosting have remained familiar despite changes in dating culture and the language used to describe them.
