Persuasion (2022)

Persuasion by Jane Austen is one of my favorite books....this movie is so loosely based on the book that it makes me sad to think that new viewers may think that this is what Jane intended.... Anne Elliott is completely mischaracterized.... Dakota Johnson is not Anne Elliott.... Anne would never drink out of a wine bottle.... Yuck...

Fmovies: I knew it would be bad, but I wasn't ready for this. No matter what you're here for you're going to be disappointed. I thought the addition of Richard E Grant would be one enjoyable relief - nope. It's all a complete bomb.

Netflix, please stop ruining our favourite books. Just stick with original screenplay and stories when creating new shows. I hated every minute of this version of Persuasion, I can't even start to list all the things wrong with that movie.

Persuasion fmovies. If you separate this adaptation from the book, it is a sufficient watch. However, considering what masterpiece it is based on, I'm sure Jane Austen is turning in her grave.

The story isn't anything like the Persuasion we know and love, it is trying too hard to be like Bridgerton, to be relevant and have modern touches. Some of the most beloved and iconic lines have been downgraded to weak decoctions. There is hardly any character development. In fact, the only character that I thought wasn't utterly flat was Mary. The cast is excellent but the script is beyond words... and not in the positive sense. For Anne to constantly be breaking the fourth wall was an excruciatingly bad decision. All in all, a painful adaptation that can surely only be enjoyed by viewers who aren't familiar with the work of Jane Austen.

This film strips all the heart out of Persuasion and turns the characters into versions of themselves that are unrecognizable. I don't understand why the writers didn't write their own story, in the vein of Bridgerton or Bridget Jones's Diary. They capitalized off Austen's name without giving her work any respect.

This is clingy. They shamelessly tried to copy the iconic and brilliant mannerism from the lead character of the show Fleabag - it does not go well, another poor attempt from Netflix to copy & paste classics.
