5/5 a wonderful movie
  by J. Mencik
This movie is touching and warm in feeling. The acting is excellent and the scenes absorbing. Amanda Root is fabulous as Anne Elliot. This production is faithful to the novel. Only wish the camera had been steadier in some of the outdoor scenes.

3/5 Persuasion

Movie received in great shape. Was released in stores soon after purchased. Good movie but not one of my favorites.

1/5 Booooring!

Not only were the characters ugly, they were boring, unrealistic, and not romantic at all!! This movie is definitely going into permanent storage!

5/5 Very faithful and Romantic
  by Rachel E. Dobbs
I bought this dvd after reading several reviews for it. I believe this is one of the most faithful adaptations of a Jane Austen book, especially when the book Persuasion focuses so much on what Anne Elliot's internal feelings are. Amanda Root does so much with her facial expressions to convey what she is feeling at the moment. Ciran Hinds does a brilliant job as Captain Wentworth. This movie is definitely worth the time and money spent on it. True, it isn't flashy like many Hollywood movies and there were times when I had to turn up the volume but other than that, this is a very enjoyable film. Even my husband liked it :). I definitely put this one on par with the BBC Pride and Prejudice version that came out in 1995 with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle.
