Title: Not true to character
Product review: I am an avid fan of Jane Austen's works. As such, I am very forgiving of any version of her work that will gain her a greater audience. However, this screenplay so totally changes the character of Anne Elliot that she is hardly recognizable to those who have read the book. Anne was perhaps Jane's ideal woman, yet this screenplay makes her a pathetic silly woman and it's quite hard to believe her capable of attracting anyone's interest, or maintaining it over a span of many years. Too bad we can't hear Jane's critique of this adaptation. I'm sure it would be quite caustic.
