i can't believe this movie only has a 68% rating it's literally the best movie of all time
There's a lot of awkward dead air in this movie. Finishing it felt like a chore. Persuasion is not that compelling of a story to begin with and this adaptation definitely didn't help. And I'm REALLY sorry, but they couldn't have chosen a worse actor to play Captain Wentworth. I almost hoped they'd do a twist and have her end up with Mr. Elliot instead. (also Henry Golding IS a 10.) The only positive thing I can think of is Dakota's english accent not being distracting.
My favourite movie. I have watched it countless times.
I can appreciate the stunning visuals and the dark comedy that this film offers but the appreciation for this film completely escapes me. It's a long, long, long way to go to see the fairly uninteresting story play out. I won't get that three hours of my life back.

In an era when original films are few and far in-between I thought The Invention of Lying was actually a pretty decently good film. Sure as a comedy it wasn't really hilarious but it had a good plot that was interesting and heartwarming and an excellent cast as well.
Far from well-written, guilty of instalove, yet strangely entertaining. I probably like the 90s comedy aesthetics (and Brendan Fraser) a little too much.
i had to watch this movie every fucking day when i was dropped off for grade school. this movie will never leave me. if i die and come back as a ghost, ill just float around whispering quotes from this childhood nightmare im stuck in for the rest of my life.
This film should have stayed in the shadows. It's a boring tale that strains for significance, but in my opinion, falls a long way short.
It was a pretty good idea, execution was okay, gave me a decent laughter. Would recommend, but don't expect an amazing movie.
This felt like a low-grade version of Little Women. Every single thing about the movie – script, acting, production, etc – felt like it was off. It also marks the first time that I don’t like Bill Nighy in a movie.

we need a good Persuasion adaptation, please! Also all those "artistic" and shaky camera shots were annoying, not quirky. sorry.
So hard to watch. Raw, painful. Seeing such a star having those moments with a disease without so little to do is truly heartbreaking. Celine will always be a star. I hope she get better soon! A much watch for everyone.
Clooney's film is nostalgic for the past but did it have to be so dull? Disappointing.
