This adaptation is very true to the book. However the actress portraying Fanny was not the best choice. Sometimes she seemed like she was thinking through her acting choices at the moment she was saying her lines. She was either under or overacting many scenes. Some of her expressions and hand movements for emphasis were almost comical. The male leads playing Tom and Edmund seemed both to be good choices. The actor portraying Henry Crawford was also fine in the part. .i liked the other females leads playing Aunt Norris and Mary Crawford. Aunt Bertram seemed more like the village idiot and not the great lady of a wealthy family. However, by miscasting the most crucial role of Fanny, this adaptation fell flat for me. I would not recommend it.
