A waste of film, and your time!
I always look forward to new versions of Persuasion, but this one is a 100% disappointment..
The whole approach to the making of this movie is wrong.. the personality and attitude of Anne grates from the minute she starts talking to the camera..
the actor playing Wentworth is totally miscast.. his personality and acting leave us totally disconnected from him in his role... (to say nothing of the pink and orange lipstick being so distracting).
Dakota I think does as good a job as she can with her role, but her whole personality is not insync with what most of us feel Anne's personality would have been, unassuming and quiet. Didn't work for me at all.
To me the highlight of this movie was Mia Mckenna-Bruce in her role as Mary.. she portrayed the whiny personality of Mary to perfection..!
If you want to see excellent versions of this movie, check out the 1995 Ciar'an Hinds or the 2007 version with Rupert Penry Jones.. both excellent films.
