 a slight disappointment January 29, 1999
0 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have to say that though I am a huge Jane Austen fan, I did not think that this movie did a good job with Jane's trademark subtlety. Some of the most important scenes like the one where thee group is at the theater near the end of the story was grossly over dramatized. If you want adaptations that truely reflect Jane Austen's spirit then watch Sense and Sensibility with Emma Thompson and Emma with Gwyneth Paltrow.
 Excellent! January 11, 1999

Amanda Root's performance is superb and the attention to deatail given to the cinematography is exquisite, while remainning faithful to Jane Austen's original masterpiece. I vow, this film would make any romantic heart sigh with contentment.
 don't let the cover fool you January 7, 1999
Don't let the erotic-looking cover fool you on this movie. It was tastefully done and very true to Jane Austen's novel. I enjoyed the obvious lack of "super-beautiful" people playing the parts of Anne Elliot, Captain Wentworth, and the rest. These were truly humans, not supermodels. Well done.
As memorable as the book January 2, 1999

As a lifelong fan of the works of Austen I am always leary of film adaptations, for fear they are glorified costume pieces. This film was so remarkably well done, the characterizations complete and fleshed out, it was as "clinging" as the book. It truly stays with you. Cirian Hinds and Amanda Root are wonderful of course, but the rest of the cast is just as ideal. I would recommend it to all but the most cynical non romantics.
Beautifully done! December 9, 1998

The words are beautiful, the characters all memorable! Seems slow at first, but after seeing it 10 times already, it gets better every time.
