PRIDE & PREJUDICE
Roger Ebert gives the movie the thumb up:
... Joe Wright's new film "Pride & Prejudice," one of the most delightful and heartwarming adaptations made from Austen or anybody else. Much of the delight and most of the heart comes from Keira Knightley, who plays Elizabeth as a girl glowing in the first light of perfection. She is beautiful, she has opinions, she is kind but can be unforgiving. "They are all silly and ignorant like other girls," says her father in the novel, "but Lizzie has something more of quickness than her sisters."There's even speculation Knightley might get a best actress Oscar nomination. This is the Keira Knightley we're talking about here, right? Yep, Keira fucking Knightley.
Knightley's performance is so light and yet fierce that she makes the story almost realistic; this is not a well-mannered "Masterpiece Theatre" but a film where strong-willed young people enter life with their minds at war with their hearts.

Let's see she doesn't look up to the Heavens in the film, she doesn't play a dying lesbian, she's not playing a handicapped character and she starred in Domino. No chance.
