The Year of Jane Austen (Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, the upcoming Emma) continues with this charming, witty, and often painfully touching story of the estranged romance between Anne Elliot (Amanda Root in a full, rich performance) and Captain Wentworth (Ciaran Hinds). Although the source material is precious, credit is due to the impeccable ensemble British cast who perfectly present the foibles of English middle-class society in Austen's day. Recommended. (R. Pitman)
