shaun F I've read the book several times and despite the different storytelling choices in this film it was still enjoyable. Remember it's a UK TV 'adaptation' and not a chapter and verse retelling. Some performances were frankly awful like Charles and Mary but the rest were acceptable. The end running scene I think was supposed to represent Anne's desperation to a) avoid being stuck with William Elliott and b) not loose Captain Wentworth again. As for the very end it's pretty obvious that Captain Wentworth has not purchased Kellynch (as it's entailed) but just taken over the lease from his Brother in law which he might have done had he been a romantic 🤣 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Julia D I love this adaptation except for 2 glaringly and jarring points. 1. Breaking the third wall constantly is tremendously annoying. 2. The ridiculousness of Anne running around Bathe at the end followed by the most tedious and cringe kiss scene ever was awful! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Islay R a atriz da protagonista passa até demais através das expressões sem precisar de falas, quanto ao ator não dá pra dizer a mesma coisa. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/24 Full Review steve d Perhaps the most faithful, and one of the best adaptations of the great story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Sally and Rupert did great jobs in this one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review stace d My favorite rendition of Persuasion!! I loved the casting and it truly pulls you into the time period and sticks closely to Austen's novel. I bought the DVD of this one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
