Title: One of the worst adaptations
Product review: The movie lacked real emotions. All the acting and actors were dull and nothing about the whole thing was aspiring. "Persuasion" is one of my favorite novels by Jane Austen but not even that was enough encouragement for me to root for this poorly portrayed couple (Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth). I must admit the 1995 version of Persuasion staring Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds is my favorite and maybe I had too many high expectations this version would also be wonderful but I was very disappointed. I think I knew I would have a problem with this movie from one of the earliest scenes of a maid doing nothing more than just standing around holding an inkwell waiting for when Anne needed ink from wondering from room to room making a list of the house items. What was the point?
