Daisy Edgar-Jones & Esmé Creed-Miles Address The Sense & Sensibility Controversy

Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esme Creed-Miles are bringing Jane Austen’s Sense & Sensibility to a new generation — and one creative choice has already sparked a very passionate debate. While in Australia promoting the new adaptation, Daisy and Esme sat down with The Spill’s Laura Brodnik to talk about becoming the Dashwood sisters, the friendship they first formed years before making this film, and why they felt so safe and supported by one another on set. They also address the conversation surrounding the film’s historically unconventional hair and styling choices, why Esme believes some of the criticism misses the point, and why Daisy says a new adaptation should offer audiences something distinctive rather than simply recreate what has come before. Plus, they talk falling in love with Jane Austen, sisterhood, romance, and the unexpected Love Island memories that connect them to the very first time they worked together.
