Persuasion Movie Reviews

Not even close.

Disclaimer: I love Austen, and I would classify myself as a purist. But I also understand that film is a different medium, sometimes modifications must be made. But the modifications made absolutely piss all over the original story.

-First, Dakota Johnson is completely miscast. Anne is supposed to be mournful and to a degree bitter. She thinks she’s missed her chance. Dakota Johnson plays her as spunky and comedic. Totally wrong. The rest of the cast is fine, but left to play their roles opposite an inappropriately funny heroine.

-Anne is not an alcoholic. It wasn’t charming or relatable.

-It seems like the directors watched the recent adaptation of Emma and Bridgerton and were like, let’s try Persuasion. But let’s half ass the costumes and make it a comedy.

-Ridiculous lines. “How would you dance to Beethoven?” Anne replies “Alone in my room to a bottle of red.” Well, considering this takes place in the Regency era before records or radio, this is absurd. She also says “We’re worse than strangers. We’re exes.” Mary talks about how she must love herself in order to be able to love others. Come on. I couldn’t stop eye rolling.

-There are a bunch of double entendres that are neither clever nor funny.

-They break the fourth wall, and while it works in other movies like Mansfield Park, but it was done cleverly and sparingly. Dakota Johnson is constantly talking at us and it’s obnoxious.

I was hoping someone would give Persuasion an update. I really enjoyed the 90s adaptation with Ciaran Hinds. But no one asked for this abomination.

Do Not Be Persuaded

Again¡ Let’s take a classic piece of literature make a movie out of it, but only after we change just about everything about. Thus not making a classice piece of literature into a movie, but, rather making a feminist, multicultural, pansexual mess that cannot hold people’s interest because they feeled betrayed that the classic adaptation they were expected is immature sophomoric trash.

STOP!!!

If you are an Austen fan, then DO NOT watch

Persuasion is a lovely little story of second chances. Anne Elliot is a character greatly put upon by her family, and missed her chance of love by another persons advice. I love this character, but she is so poorly played by Dakota Johnson. There are numerous British actresses that would have been far better. It’s a very poor adaptation all around. I sincerely hope Netflix leave the other Austen stories alone!
