Persuasion is an absolute gem, with simplicity and straightforwardness that serve the story beautifully. No flashy Hollywood touches here. It's almost Dogma 95 in its use of light, sound, and music.

Fun fact: Lady Russell, Anne Elliot's neighbor and friend, is played by Susan Fleetwood, whose brother is someone named Mick.
