The movie — which modernizes the dialogue, breaks the fourth wall, and makes big changes to Anne’s character in particular — has audiences pided, with some people loving it and a lot of people really not loving it. But one thing unites everyone: memes. Here are the best about Netflix’s Persuasion

cass @vacantribcage if i had been in the writers' room when they were adapting persuasion i would've proposed "there could have been no two hearts so open, no tastes so similar, no feelings so in unison" to be changed to "he's just like me fr"

Bianca Hernandez-Knight⚔️? #VirtualJaneCon @bookhoarding Netflix’s Persuasion making Anne the wine aunt is honestly great to me. Along with making Mary the vapid ww who misuses terms to make herself constantly the center of attention. An empath? Yes perfect. Nailed it.

John Scalzi @scalzi Watching the new Netflix version of Persuasion and it turns out I don't give a shit about historical accuracy, as long as everyone in the film is so very pretty.
