As gloriously romantic as it is giddily hilarious, Persuasion gives you a ruefully knowing smile as it sides with the wise heart. You leave the theater feeling better about everything. Full Review |

This new film is every bit as charming and engrossing as Sense and Sensibility -- it just doesn't have a star-name attached. What it does have, however, is the luminous Amanda Root, who is simply marvelous as Austen's heroine Anne Elliot. Full Review |

Roger Michell's movie captures [Jane Austen's] insight into social hypocrisies and elegant sense of irony, with precisely understated performances and a subtle, witty script. Full Review |

Michell's approach to Persuasion indicates that he is the rarest of literary translators -- one who is genuinely interested in a work's themes, its characters and what the author has to say about the world in which they exist. Full Review |
