Title: What a terrible waste!
Product review: "Persuasion" is one of my absolute favorite Jane Austen stories but this adaptation is just insulting. The character of Anne is completely misrepresented! In this version, she is so spiritless and dull it's impossible to imagine how Captain Wentworth could ever have fallen in love with her in the first place, let alone carry a torch for her for almost a decade! And though the gentleman playing Wentworth is handsome, he lacks charisma and doesn't leave much of an impression. The costumes and sets were quite attractive though, it's just a shame they were wasted on such a terrible production. If you must see every Jane Austen adaptation ever made, just rent this one, because purchasing it would be a mistake.
