Persuasion (2022)
Completely Clueless

How is a movie about a 90s Beverly Hills teen a smarter take on an Jane Austen novel?
The entire story has been dumbed down to the point of being unrecognizable as Austen. The dialogue assumes you have the intelligence of a potato, the direction that of rock. After watching the trailer the bar was already so low...they brought a shovel.
Do yourself a favor and watch any other "modern adaptation" of Austen...Clueless, Bride and Prejudice, Bridget Jones, Austenland, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, etc. Every other classic adaptation would be a far better way to spend your time for that matter. The list is long and almost always true to Austen with only one or two hiccups along the way.
