Movie Reviews of Persuasion
Movie Review: Well done!
Summary: 4 Stars
I only just discovered Jane Austen's novel Persuasion. After reading it I watched the '08 movie version of Persuasion first and was supremely disappointed with that adaptation. I was delighted to see that this '95 version got it right! It followed Austen's novel and flowed very well. While I think Amanda Root and Ciran Hinds acted beautifully (along with the rest of the cast) I think they were a little old for the roles which could be my only criticism. Other than that I was delighted that a version true to the book was out there. The costumes and the scenery were just as I imagined as well. I would much rather have this Persuasion in my DVD collection than the '08 version. Movie Review: I enjoyed it

I thought this was a very good movie. Well acted, loved the scenery and costumes. I felt like I was Bath again! Movie Review: Good but not great
Summary: 4 Stars
A very good version of "Persuasion" and a must have for Jane Austen fans but not her best story.Movie Review: wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
In my opinion this is THE best film adaptation of any Jane Austen novel. That is high praise given the fact that Persuasion is not, in my opinion, Jane Austen's best novel. Everything about it is perfect: the actors, the dialogue, the cinematography, the production design, the costumes . . . It is true to the novel in respect to plot, characters, and dialogue but there is a sweetness that touches the heart and uplifts the spirit that is somewhat missing in the book. Movie Review: Forget the rest!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never read the book, but I plan to do so in the near furture after thorougly enjoying this movie. Ciaran Hinds is breathtaking in his depiction, particularly during the scene where they met at the concert and his letter to Anne. A must see for period piece lovers.
