I wasn’t too impressed with the new Persuasion. It looks nice but between the constant mugging for the camera by Anne Elliott combined with the Captain Wentworth actor being dull I did not feel moved. I prefer the British “show rather than tell” versions. My favorite is the Amanda Root-Ciaran Hinds version, with the Sally Hawkins-Rupert Penry-Jones second. I liked Henry Golding in this one, but no need to watch again.
