This has always been my favourite Jane Austin novel. Whilst the BBC adaptation with Rupert Penry-Jones will, I think, remain my favourite. I really enjoyed this film version. Just like Bridgerton it has a diverse cast but each character is so well formed and acted it really doesn’t matter. Just enjoy the story telling and Dakota Johnson, who is a much more feisty version of Anne Elliot, but more in keeping for todays younger audiences.
