Persuasion

CriticsCritics: 82
AudienceAudience: 7.7

In early 19th-century England, financial troubles bring a reserved aristocratic woman back into contact with the wealthy former fiancé she once rejected. As old feelings resurface, they must decide whether to remain bound by the past or trust what their hearts still want.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you prefer faithful, understated period romances with emotional restraint, strong performances, and a realistic atmosphere; Not for you if you need brisk pacing, obvious romance, or much action.
