George S @Groggy60 3d I have read all of Jane Austen's books and collected her movies, and Persuasion is my favourite. The adaptation is nice because Dakota Johnson does such a great job talking to the camera. Several unique scenes suit the story nicely. This is my second favourite adaptation after the Amanda Root movie. See more Olivia H @Livvy_h Aug 18 The adaptation no one needed. Anne is absolutely obnoxious. It doesn't capture the brilliance of the novel. Big fail. See more Brian M @RT34234758 Aug 16 What a let down. It makes a mockery of Austen's novel. Poor casting, writing and execution. See more Harish N @harish_napa Jun 9 he historical romance film is an average, middle of the road endeavor that heavily struggles to balance classic literature with modern dialogue. It is a visually grounded production that focuses on a woman navigating the sudden return of a past lover, proving that an iconic story can easily get bogged down when it tries too hard to mimic contemporary style. Dakota Johnson is good as Anne Elliot, bringing a charming charisma and unpolished vulnerability to a very difficult role. She delivers the constant fourth wall breaks with a lot of natural warmth, even when the material lets her down. The supporting cast provides decent backing, but the characters feel far too superficial to create any real emotional weight. The writing starts out okay but quickly settles into an uneven, overly quirky storyline that tests your patience instead of building genuine tension. The rapid pacing prevents the central romance from establishing a true, deep connection. See more Adi K @RT82442339 Jun 5 Poorly cast, written, and performed. Unwatchable.
