Persuasion with dakota johnson6/6/2023 Austen adaptations are churned out with regularity, and I love that Carrie Cracknell and the screenwriters have tried to find a new take on an old story. Why the targeted campaign to make one adaptation among many bomb in the ratings? Does the existence of this version take away from the original text, or the other, faithful and bland, adaptations? No. The backlash on social media - and the one star trolls on the IMDb, who claim to be Austen fans but can't even spell her name correctly or identify which era she was writing in - have me flabbergasted, to be honest. I watched the new Netflix take on Persuasion on the day of release and found the whole film charming, funny and original.
