Persuasion

CriticsCritics: 82
AudienceAudience: 7.7

In early 19th-century England, financial troubles bring a thoughtful woman back into contact with the wealthy former fiancé she once rejected. As old feelings resurface, both must decide whether to remain shaped by the past or follow their hearts.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy quiet Jane Austen romances, naturalistic period settings, and emotionally restrained performances; Not for you if you want fast pacing, overt passion, or action like Pride & Prejudice.
