The musical score is beautiful, and adds great depth to the story. Costumes and locations also draw viewers into the story period. Although not an "Austen purist", I have read "Persuasion" and I own most of the various film adaptations of her novels, including the previous version of "Persuasion" starring Ciaran Hinds and Amanda Root. Comparing the two DVDs, I find that, while the earlier version of "Persuasion" may more exactly align to the book and is a wonderful movie, this newer adaptation has an updated approach that allows viewers to more closely engage with the characters, especially with Anne Elliot and Frederick Wentworth. Sally Hawkins plays Anne Elliot as a well-born Englishwoman who loves her family, close friends and home with such depth that she accedes to their disapproval of her attachment at 19 to as yet unproven young naval officer Frederick Wentworth and breaks off her engagement. The movie picks up 8 yrs later when Captain Wentworth has made his fortune in the Navy and returns to the area where Anne sees him again through his interaction with her extended family and friends. In this 2007 movie version I better understood the relationship between Wentworth and Anne. I felt Anne's grief and regret at losing through her own choice what she later realized was her best chance for happiness, loving him still and forced to watch him being pursued by others. I recognized Wentworth's anger and resentment at being dumped as a young man because of his "station"; his pride smarting at the continued denigration he experienced from Anne's supercilious family and close friend Lady Russell. I saw his fascination with Anne despite all this, his inability to love or marry another because of her. In Rupert Penry-Jones' portrayal of Captain Wentworth, you sense that he is constantly aware of Anne both in and out of her actual presence. There is also a fuller realization of his own culpability in the events that transpire due in part to his own behavior. In his initial desire to prove his indifference to Anne, he himself is the one that nearly derails a second chance at happiness. The ending scenes are what I found most expanded from the novel. While Anne's racing around Bath on foot to find Wentworth was perhaps unusual, it is in keeping with her determination to seize her happiness despite any obstacles. Though she deals graciously in her own sweet way with interruptions along the way, her absolute determination to reach Wentworth is very evident. The scene where she responds to his proposal has got to be one of the most intensely filmed, yet innocent, love scenes in recent memory. Sally Hawkins' whole demeanor - her eyes, body language - as she tells Wentworth in period language that she'll marry him was absolutely stunning. In the final scene, there was a certain justice in Anne receiving from Wentworth the home she loved and had tried so hard to maintain despite her family's spendthrift ways. All in all, a great movie and refreshing take on a classic period novel. Review: Great Adaptation of Persuasion - I'm a big Jane Austen fan. Jane Austen is my favorite author of all time. If I had to travel back in time, she would be near the top of my list of people I would like to meet and have a conversation with. I relate to the fact that Jane Austen never got married. I relate to the fact that she had a bond with her sister. I relate to the fact that she loved writing. I could watch any Jane Austen adapted version or themed movie a hundred times and never get tired. The same goes to leaving my TV on Masterpiece Theatre. Maybe I was a British woman in one of my past lives. I just love watching British period films. Anyways, this is my favorite film version of "Persuasion", and I've seen every single Jane Austen film out there. I always cry each time I see this version. Sally Hawkins is such a great actress and she does an excellent job as Anne Elliot. I really relate to this storyline. I've had boyfriends in my life, and I've always been the good, loyal, honest, trustworthy girlfriend, but I can honestly and genuinely say that I never experienced being deeply and passionately in love with someone. I'm 37, and I've never been in love with a man or told a guy that I was in love with him. To tell a guy that I was in love with him would be a major deal for me. And I've never ever done that because I don't take saying things like that lightly. There was one guy who I think had the potential for me to have those feelings for the first time but I think my current health problems scared him away. I think of Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem in the "Eat, Pray, Love" movie. I think Javier's character says to Julia's character, "You don't need a lover, you need a champion." When he said that, I thought to myself, "Word!" It's going to take a champion of a man to take on me when it comes to love. Anyways, I think Jane Austen books and films fill that void when it comes to the romance department for me. When I watch this film, I really relate to Sally Hawkins' potrayal of Anne. If I was in love with a guy, I would totally be like Anne. This movie has a great cast, but I think this film is excellent because of Sally Hawkins. I found myself feeling my heart racing and being emotional because of Sally Hawkins' portrayal of Anne. And I liked the way that this movie ended. If you want to see an excellent Jane Austen movie, this is it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00AF82WTO | | Actors | Various | | Best Sellers Rank | #35,568 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #5,507 in Drama DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (3,247) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | WHV1000379767DVD | | Language | English (Mono) | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 1.12 ounces | | Release date | December 18, 2012 | | Run time | 1 hour and 33 minutes | | Studio | BBC Home Entertainment | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Various - **Format:** Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC - **Genre:** Drama - **Initial release date:** 2012-12-18 - **Language:** English ## Images ![Persuasion (2007) (Repackage/DVD) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xmeQ6RMcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ an updated "Persuasion" *by M***M on January 25, 2008* (***contains some spoilers***) I enjoyed this movie very much.

My wife and I have been re-watching all the Jane Austen videos and find this one to be a breed apart. It not only is the most serious story of the six novels that Jane wrote but probably the most autobiographical and emotional one, as well. The story is well known to all Jane Austen followers but this rendition adds a lot of pain and remorse that are not dwelled upon in the other videos we've seen. Except for the final 10 minutes or so, the viewer is immersed in sorrow for poor Anne Elliot as she is used and abused by her father and sisters. She's treated as little more than a servant by them and taken for granted as the person best fit to do the dirty work. In this way, sweet, loveable Anne is much like Cinderella with her mean step sisters waiting for the glass slipper and prince charming to save her. That finally happens, all right, but not after many twists and turns. One can argue about whether or not this makes sense, but the emotional impact is hard to miss. We only wish that Anne would have been dolled up more at the end as she is redeemed by Capt. Wentworth and embarks on a new life of hope and prosperity. She certainly deserves this, with all the folly of a class-conscious society that surrounds her. This production is a short, 93 minutes, but well worth the time for anyone interested in British life in the early-1800's. For most of us, be very glad you live today. ## Frequently Bought Together - Persuasion (2007) (Repackage/DVD) - Masterpiece Theatre: Northanger Abbey - Sense and Sensibility (DVD) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/3992894-persuasion-2007-repackage-dvd](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/3992894-persuasion-2007-repackage-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
