“Persuasion” is a good adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel. Amanda Root plays Anne Elliot, a young woman who, eight years ago, was persuaded by well-meaning friends
and family to give up her love and reject Frederick Wentworth’s marriage proposal. A very decent and promising young man, Frederick did not have enough money,
in those people’s opinion, to support a family. Anne followed their advice, and has regretted it ever since. Now, eight years later, Frederick (Ciaran Hinds) returns
as Captain Wentworth, successful and still unmarried. Anne suffers deeply from him barely noticing her and being flirted with by all the younger girls in the neighborhood.
