There's a lot of awkward dead air in this movie. Finishing it felt like a chore. Persuasion is not that compelling of a story to begin with and this adaptation definitely didn't help. And I'm REALLY sorry, but they couldn't have chosen a worse actor to play Captain Wentworth. I almost hoped they'd do a twist and have her end up with Mr. Elliot instead. (also Henry Golding IS a 10.) The only positive thing I can think of is Dakota's english accent not being distracting.

Well, that was terrible, but he's a 10 all right.

Felt more like a film about some people role-playing Austen, than an actual Austen adaptation.
Too much time spent on trying to make Anne into someone she's not (mixing modern language with history worked for Dickinson, it did not work here).
Not enough time spent on the love story, which felt more like an afterthought in the end.
At least it's pretty.

Not much happens, nothing that wasn't done before, so not much to say. "Meh" is just the perfect rating for this one.

No. I’m sorry but the casting was not right for Fredrick he looks dumbfound everytime someone speaks. He has not much of any charisma. Stayed for Dakota. Story on its own lacks.

Watch this if you want to feel patronized by what an 80 year old man thinks a woman in her 20s talks like and behaves like. They completely missed or ignored the essence of Anne Elliot and watching this movie it made me wonder if they've even read the book. Unfortunately even apart from the book the movie does not stand on its own as a good movie. Making a main character "relatable" by making her awkward and clumsy and pathetic? Have we learned nothing from twilight? And was the gen-z tiktok talk(he's a 10, i never trust a 10) supposed to impress the 17+ year olds watching this? Cause I feel like the director/writers are really underestimating the young people of 2022.

We enjoyed this. Dakota Johnson did a great job.

This isn't as bad as many people have suggested. It takes some liberties with Austen's work and Anne's glances to the camera are a distraction but the movie plays along pleasantly enough.

First watch: I don't hate this as much as most people seem to. Enjoyable enough to be watchable.

Second watch: I'm a little bit more forgiving of anachronistic dialogue, but this is just pushing it. I wish this had better writing.

Okay, not as horribly unwatchable as everyone was saying, and honestly the (intended) spirit of the movie was as satirical and pokey-fun-y as Austen liked, BUT, they took it too far and it was pretty bad.

I mean, sure, modernize it a bit in terms of humor and intimacy — see Emma 2020 — but do you need to be rating attractiveness on a number scale? And I quote: “because he’s a 10. I never trust a 10” And again: “Daddy’s broke. Playtime’s over.”

Yikes.

Surprisingly very good. Not just a chick-flick. Some good moments worth watching.
8.5/10
