      TK H Even the exquisite period cinematography, scenery and costuming could not make up for the lack of any chemistry I could sense between the main characters. I honestly never could summon the least care if they found each other or or not. Sorry. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/05/23 Full Review Linh T Als ich den Film zum ersten Mal gesehen habe, war ich etwas enttäuscht von dem nicht so jugendlichen und nicht so gutaussehenden Aussehen der Anne Elliot. Aber im Nachhinein war es nicht mehr wichtig, Amanda Root war so gefühlvoll und so brilliant in ihrer Rolle. Ich habe mit ihr mitgelitten, mich gefreut für sie und ich wäre gerne ihre Freundin. Auch Mary Musgrove und Captains Frederick waren brilliant besetzt. Ein wunderbarer Film, den man öfters anschauen kann! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review Regina P There's a reason why this story (or version of this story) has been largely forgotten. It is largely forgettable. I liked the story. It follows the formula of stories from that era. The romantic tension of the couple that you know will end up together was played out well. The race to get a husband/patron was all in there. The suitor who only had selfish interest was there, too. The story didn't hit home, though. My favorite film with this template is Keira Knightley's version of 'Pride and Prejudice'. I can watch that film multiple times. This story has that potential as well, but it didn't quite have the same impact on me. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review steve d Not the best version but still worth your time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review daniel r The definitive Persuasion. Hinds and Root and all the supporting cast are excellent. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The best Persuasion adaptation there is.

      Richard Brody New Yorker A Jane Austen movie that is never pretty and only occasionally charming; instead, it is troubled, astringent, and touched with melancholy-not unlike the novel. Mar 8, 2021 Full Review David Ansen Newsweek Persuasion is proof that the most repressed love stories can have the sweetest payoff. Like Anne herself, the movie reveals its wonders slowly. Jul 7, 2010 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: 5/5 Feb 8, 2004 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) Captures the novel well Feb 28, 2022 Full Review Kenneth R. Morefield 1More Film Blog For a film as esteemed as it is, it has always felt overshadowed by its proximity to BBC's beloved production of Pride and Prejudice. Rated: 3/4 May 26, 2019 Full Review Louis Menand The New York Review of Books An extremely intelligent and textured film. Aug 16, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
