Persuasion Review Netflix

 Persuasion Review

The great irony of this contemporary, not quite updated production of Jane Austen's final book, "Persuasion," is that it curiously fits Austen's trenchant vision of society by communicating its strained relationship to its 19th-century source material in a repressed, passive-aggressive fashion. The movie doesn't make the imaginative leap to set the well-known tale in the present. Instead, the director, screenwriters, and star convey their discomfort with Georgian age social conventions from within the novel's historical context, which is curiously agonizing.




This Anne is vibrant and outspoken in contrast to the novel's description of her as a "faded and skinny" lady whose "bloom has fled."

She's delighted by her own wit and utterly unconcerned for her future, despite being an aging spinster in a family that is haemorrhaging funds. Her lack of social skills is due to the fact that she is a sort of sloppy millennial who drinks wine straight from the bottle and blurts out embarrassing non sequiturs in public.

The main issue is that there are few emotional stakes throughout most of the movie. There isn't much time to worry that Anne and Captain Wentworth's relationship won't work out since, as Johnson's Anne reminds us nearly constantly, "hope springs eternal."

This movie doesn't trust its audience either; character motivations, plot developments, and humor are all painstakingly explained. Johnson often smirks and winks at the audience, breaking the fourth wall.

The narrative centers on Anne Elliot (Johnson), who was advised by her family not to wed Captain Frederick Wentworth, with whom she was much in love and betrothed (Jarvis). This was brought on by the difference in social classes between the two. When Wentworth reappears in Anne's life six years after their breakup, she finds herself in the midst of once again fighting her heartbreaks and problems. The narrative then takes us on a trip alongside Anne as she faces some of the most challenging choices of her life, placing love and her future squarely in the heart of everything.
