Sony Pictures has announced the Sense and Sensibility theatrical release date for the upcoming special screening of the classic romance period drama based on Jane Austen’s iconic 1811 novel of the same name.

Since its debut in 1995, the movie has maintained its near-perfect Tomatometer rating of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 67 reviews.

“The film tells the story of the Dashwood sisters: pragmatic Elinor and passionate Marianne. When their father dies unexpectedly, his estate must pass by law to his son from his first marriage, leaving Mr. Dashwood’s current wife and daughters without a home and with barely enough money to live on,” reads the official synopsis. “As both sisters struggle to find romantic fulfillment in a society obsessed with financial and social status, Elinor with shy, charming Edward, and Marianne with either the dashing Willoughby or the haunted Colonel Brandon, they must learn to mix sense with sensibility in their dealings with both money and men.
