Ok, so the first 20 minutes I won't lie, I was dreadfully disappointed. This adaption of Ann was nothing like the book. I really disliked the dinner scene when she blurted out "Charles wanted to marry me first". Ann would never have been so inconsiderate. I loved all the actors especially Mary she was exactly what I imagined. The wardrobes, the architecture, the music and Dakota were a 10 out of 10. I'm sad that Ann's friend, Mrs. Smith wasn't mentioned and I wish it was longer. I'm watching it again for the second time to see if "my opinion" changes.
