1 out of 5 stars horrible   November 15, 2008
Dina Kuliesius
this is the second worst movie that I have ever watched. I never saw anything as boring as this is. What a waste of money


5 out of 5 stars Good Version   October 28, 2008
Mara Baechemel
I like this version of Persuasion better than the recent Masterpiece Classic one. It tells the story in a much slower fashion and allows us to get to know the characters better. It has a wonderful romance and suspense appeal. My only complaint was with leaving out the important factors of Mrs. Smith's life with regards to her association with Mr. Elliot and how Captain Wentworth ended up saving her land and livelihood in the end. That was important to the novel and they left it out entirely; however, it is still a wonderful story as told in this version. I think Amanda Root portrayed Ms. Elliot even shyer and less assertive than the book character, but it was a very good portrayal even with this difference.




5 out of 5 stars Great Jane Austin story   October 16, 2008
Stephanie S. Pettys (Atlanta, GA USA)
I was so glad to see this on DVD, because I have worn out my VHS copy.
This is a chick flick, and one of the best adaptations of Jane Austin's novel.
Enjoy!



5 out of 5 stars One of Austen's best   October 3, 2008

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.


5 out of 5 stars Review of Film Persuasion   September 21, 2008
Gaul (KS USA)
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.
