  • An engaging story well told and very well acted out.

    This 2003 version of Persuasion with Amanda Root starring as Anne, is well worth owning, not least because it is excellent in its own right and also because it can be revisited when the name of the game for two successive evenings is first to watch this version, followed the next evening by a viewing of the 2007 version, with Anne being played by Sally Hawkins. There are sufficient similarities and sufficient differences between the two interpretations of the novel, and of the characters portrayed, to make possible a most interesting "Compare and contrast" exercise. Both versions are to be commended for the clarity of exposition, the quality of the acting, and the enhancing camera work. If I was told I could retain only one of them, I would go for the 2003 version, but my wife would go for the 2007 version. I would far rather hang on to both.

  • Entertaining and faithful to the book

    Jane Austen fan, watched this on television recently, loved it. Good attention to the book and period Got the DVD and in the evening after a meal sat down with hot chocolate, pain killer and meds for arthritis and cat, got comfy and enjoyed every minute of Persuasion, possibly my favourite JA. Helped ease my physical discomfort, have now ordered an audio book of same. Can watch many times and enjoy.
