In 2022's Persuasion, it seems to be the more overt feminism that Dakota Johnson emanates. Each individual adaptation has its own pieces that make it good. Jane Austen's novels have been loved by readers as long as they have been around, and thus many filmmakers have tried to adapt them for the screen. This adaptation of Persuasion is not perfect, to be frank hardly any book-to-movie adaptation of a beloved title is.
This very different adaptation is beloved but sometimes changing so much about the original content can cause viewers to despise the piece, such as may be the case with Persuasion.
It is not a bad idea to change up the story a little with adaptations it can be quite popular, such as how 10 Things I Hate About You is a modern retelling of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. Not every adaptation needs to be done the same way, especially with Jane Austen novels where the stories have been told and retold so many times. The story itself, while not faithful to Austen's story, is well told and despite all the negative comments online has garnered some fans. The film also has chosen to format its story in quite an interesting way.
So why is that? What makes this Netflix adaptation different from all other adaptations and so abhorred? Well, the film definitely modernizes the story a bit (changing things form the novel and reimagining characters, adjusting its tone while maintaining its setting) which is not particularly an issue, but can be for some fans. However, this particular adaptation of Persuasion has caused quite the ruckus online. Yes, there is another Jane Austen adaptation you're probably not surprised by that information at all.
