Nell Minow AWFJ.org The only storyline better than people falling in love is people who were once in love falling back in love. Jane Austen knew that in Persuasion and this remix uses some highlights from the book with some updates for the era of social media. Nov 18, 2021 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian The biggest crime against Austen, and the film's fundamental flaw, is turning woman-of-substance Anne Elliot into yet another romcom thirtysomething cat lady sighing dreamily at the Manhattan skyline while waiting for Mr Right. Rated: 2/5 •  Feb 3, 2021 Full Review

Rosana B Tem coisa mais gostosa que curtir as manh茫s de f茅rias assistindo uma com茅dia rom芒ntica leve, divertida e muito gostosa, sob as cobertas num diazinho frio... #perfeito t茫o lindinho, t茫o fofinho, t茫o clichezinho e t茫o emocionante que at茅 chorei... #emocionei Destaque para os personagens e aquele humor seco que eu super amo... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/03/22 Full Review Audience Member I came with low expectations, because of other reviews. I decided to not pay for a viewing. It's finally on Hulu. This movie was more fun than I anticipated, but I'm a sucker for any film adaptation of Jane Austin. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review
