If you are a "but that's not how it was in the booooooook!" literature snob, then you should skip this movie "based on" Jane Austen's novel Persuasion. But if you enjoy an irreverent, cheeky take, with plenty of dry wit and fourth-wall breakage, with gorgeous scenery and beautiful cinematography and a lovely score and excellent performances from all the players (especially Dakota Johnson as Anne and Mia McKenna-Bruce as Mary), then this is for you.
The comparisons to Bridgerton aren't entirely wrong, but this one is more nuanced. It's more similar, I think, to Emma. (2020). I loved it.
