Summary: One of Austen's best
Comment: Persuasion is my second favorite Austen book and movie. The story is wonderful, and this production is subtle and perfectly paced - just like the book. The choice of actors is perfect - just as I imagined when reading the book for the first time.

Summary: Review of Film Persuasion
Comment: Loved Amanda Root! Both she and Ciaran Hinds (her suitor) grow on you. The supporting cast makes it an excellent film. I really recommend it if you like Jane Austen romances. It was well done.

Summary: Persuasion
Comment: One of Jane Austen's novels done to it's best. The acting and the characters were true to the novel and added a nice vision of what occurs in the novel. A real "must have" for the romantic also for the individual that would like to step back into a simpler time.

Summary: The most perfect screen version of all!
Comment: It's the best screen version for this splendorous novel! After having seen it, try to read the book again - I promise: you'll see in your mind all the scenes again! The dialogues are almost the same you've read in the book. There were almost no changings from the book to the screen- a good and very careful direction, I suppose.
And Captain Wentworth ... God! ... the look in his eyes when he sees Anne made me shake inside!
I really, really loved it!

Summary: True to Austen's story
Comment: This version of Persuasion follows Jane Austen's story and dialogue closely. Two sweethearts parted 8 years ago unexpectedly cross paths again. Ann has pined for Captain Wentworth, but he has hardened his heart against her. How will they find their happy ending? The answer is subtle, so think England, not Hollywood. A very beautiful and enjoyable love story.
