"it was good but the characters were not at all how I envisioned them, which sadly I think kinda ruined it for me"
pia (taylor's version)
"When I was younger, this one was my least favorite of the Jane Austen films. Now, I love it. The rawness, how they film the movie is nice. Gives it character like if you were living those times. "
Norma Blanco
"Best version of Persuasion that I’ve seen. This version uses the text of Wentworth’s letter to best effect in my view. Actors and actresses did a great job. "

"I had high hopes that I would love this movie, but it felt very slow and somewhat boring. "

"This is my favorite version of my favorite Jane Austen book."

"Most romantic Jane Austen ever!"

"Best adaption!"

"Amanda Root is transcendent as Anne. She goes from a "squashed cabbage leaf" (a la Pygmalion) to beaming and thriving after she regains her confidence. Ciarán Hinds plays Wentworth with smoldering intensity, a tortured man but still tender. The entire cast is brilliant."
