VHS Movie Reviews of Persuasion
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.Movie Review: Persuasion
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie starts off slow but is an excellent adaptation of Jane Austen's written work. I love the fact that not every actor is drop dead gorgeous...and the prelude to the kiss was fantastic! Anyone with a love of Jane Austen will love this movie!Movie Review: The Best Version
Summary: 5 Stars
Persuasion is my favorite Jane Austen story and I am very thankful that at least this book got a great adaptation on film.
Amanda Root was just so perfect for the role. Anytime I read Persausion, I see her as Anne Elliot. As Anne changes before the viewer's eyes, Root changes somehow that is noticeable to the audience and makes it seem flawless and real. Ciaran Hinds as Wentworth cannot be matched either. The two acted very well together and did the Austen classic justice. The supporting cast also portrayed the supporting charcters true to the book.
This version is the best one out there, thus far. Any fan of the book Persuasion should at least give this one a try and see for yourself. Coming from someone whose favorite Austen book is Persuasion, I was not disappointed one bit. It actually made me love the book even more.
