Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Danielle S I wish they didn't do a modern take to it. It just really ruined it for me. If they made it into a modern day adaptation in 2020s London or NYC then sure. I just hate it when they do stuff like this and ruin a classic. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review Sara W I loved this film. I don’t care that it isn’t classical Jane Austen. 1. The cinematography was stunning. 2. Dakota Johnson played the role with an ease and playfulness that requires tact. She eloquently portrayed every single one of those emotions from playful to heartbroken. 3. It was relatable. Period. As a woman, who has experienced the full range of human emotions, it’s easy to wrap yourself in this expansive blanket of emotions. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me squeal, and it made me cry again. The comedic timing was spot on. The varied personalities all fit well together, and created a story that was engaging. Enjoy the ride as it is. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review June F This film wasn't so much a wink to Jane Austen as it was a smirk. In terms of costumes, characterizations, dialogues and accents, it didn't seem to know what century it was in. You can't have a willing suspension of disbelief if you can't immerse yourself into a work of art. But if you're going to get into an 18th century mindset, where women have little social worth unless and until they are married (the number one preoccupation of all Jane Austen's protagonists), then it's just distracting to have characters use modern slang, espouse contemporary social mores and pretend that the very real class and racial divisions of the time didn't exist. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review S F I loved it! An Austen fan having devoured her wonderful novels (multiple times) from teenage years. I have watched this version on Netflix multiple times and I can’t help feeling that Jane Austen too would have loved it. It captures the irony and satire beautifully Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review Co D i’m a sucker for jane austen’s adaptations and i loved this one too, even if it was different!
