If you're going in expecting the 1995 vibe, the review basically says don't... it's deliberately moodier and cloudier, no sugar-rush ending. Might save some disappointment

The review mentions the script puts sharper focus on Mrs Dashwood not wanting her daughter to look like a gold-digger - so that's apparently a bigger plot driver in this version than it was before. Is that the main thing that's changed about how her character works?

Fiona Shaw steals every scene she's in as Mrs Jennings. Rest feels uneven.
