Story:
Netflix romantic period drama directed by Carrie Cracknell. Persuasion (2022) centers on Anne Elliot (Dakota Johnson), an unconforming woman with modern sensibilities, living with her snobby family on the brink of bankruptcy. When Captain Frederick Wentworth (Cosmo Jarvis), the man who was she persuaded not to marry eight year ago, crashes back into her life, Anne must choose between putting the past behind her or listening to her heart when it comes to second chances.
We’ll add the best quotes once the movie is released and we’ve had a chance to watch it, but for now, here’s a small selection.
Quotes:
Anne Elliot: I almost got married once. There were no two souls more in rhythm than Wentworth and I. And I was persuaded by my family to give him up.
Anne Elliot: My father. He’s never met a reflective surface he didn’t like. And my sisters.
Sir Walter Elliot: Exquisite jawline.
Mary Musgrove: I’m just too kind, and that’s my problem. I give all of my attention to others, and then I suffer for it.
Anne Elliot: Where are your children?
Mary Musgrove: How should I know?
Anne Elliot: I would have been a far happier woman in keeping him than I have been in giving him up.

Captain Frederick Wentworth: May I help you with something?
Mr. Elliot: Considering what I’d like help with, probably not.

Anne Elliot: I broke his heart.

Anne Elliot: I didn’t know if I’d ever see you again. Or if you knew how much I cared.
Captain Frederick Wentworth: Time makes many changes.
Anne Elliot: I’m not yet so much changed.
Anne Elliot: Don’t let anyone tell you how to live, or who to love.
