Persuasion

CriticsCritics: 75
AudienceAudience: 7.5

Years after a young woman is persuaded to end her engagement to a naval officer, her family’s financial troubles force them to leave their grand home. When the officer returns as a successful captain, the former lovers must face their unresolved feelings and the possibility of a second chance.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you favor restrained period romance, thoughtful performances, and unresolved longing, especially in Pride & Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility; Not for you if you need fast pacing or strict source fidelity.
