Jane Austen, regarded as one of the first rom-com authors, has had another classic adapted for the big screen again in Persuasion, a new period drama starring Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades Of Grey) as an 1800s woman with modern sensibilities who has a second chance to reconnect with the love of her life she once let get away.
From its look and feel, Persuasion may remind us of Netflix hit Bridgerton, but despite the film having beautiful cinematography and a well-known cast, the poor script and execution make it feel like Bridgerton without the wit and the excitement.
