Movie Reviews of Persuasion
Movie Review: beautiful love story
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with some on the reviews that yes Anne running around at the end was kind of odd. But the kiss was tender with the tear. Rupert is sex on legs as Captain Wentworth. I would watch the movie 100 times again just to look at him. Sally as Anne was a amazing role. I felt like I understood how torn she was watching her love court someone else. The anticipated climax of their reunion was beautiful. It was what it was and it did not follow the book but the purpose was to make it so it appealed to wider audience. If you want a beautiful love story I would highly recommend watching.Movie Review: Can't get any better than this.....
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this film, even more than the Amanda Root version, which I can't believe I am saying as that was my favorite Jane Austen film for so long.
I just wish the soundtrack was available for this new version. The music was so beautiful. I enjoyed the music as much as I enjoyed the soundtrack to the Keira Knightly version of Pride and Prejudice.
Does anyone know if a soundtrack is in the works? As I know the Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice has a soundtrack so I know sometimes they do make them for made for TV films.
Movie Review: Beautiful and Realistic
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the 1995 version, and am a loyal fan.
This did not stop me from enjoying this version, as much, and in some cases more, than the previous one.
I felt that many of the characters were less "over the top" in this new version, and more believeable. I liked the fresh take on it. I particularly enjoyed the performance of Rupert Penry-Jones.
As an avid fan of Jane Austen, and an owner of many versions of many of the film adaptations, I can recommend this as a delightful and heartfelt presentation.
Movie Review: Austen adaptions
Summary: 5 Stars
It seems a lot of JANE AUSTEN book readers buy the film adaptions, just to criticise them. Stop it. This adaption of PERSUASION is thoroughly entertaining. Only ninety minutes long, short enough to watch daily. It has a beginning, a middle and a happy ending. What more could you want?
It is as good as the BBC P & P, without having to wait for hours and hours to see what happens. Serious AUSTEN readers should not buy DVD's or go to the movies, they should stick to books. Anyone else will enjoy this version of PERSUASION. (probably)
Movie Review: Breathtaking
Summary: 5 Stars
Persuasion is my favorite novel by the astounding Jane Austen. I loved the older adaptation and wondered how this version would meet my expectations. I was amazed and entranced with the actors, the script, and the added subtulties the movie provided. I ended the movie with tears in my eyes. You will not waste your time with this movie. I ordered this DVD before it was available in the states and programmed my DVD player to play region 2. I couldn't wait. I even pre-ordered the region 1 version so I can watch it on my big screen.
