Modern Persuasion Ratings & Reviews
Decider
Jade Budowski
Succumbs to many a cliché and never allows any real sparks to fly between its two leads.
Common Sense Media
Sandie Angulo Chen
Bland Austen modernization has drinking, innuendo.
AWFJ.org
Loren King
There's no cliche left unturned except the heartbroken heroine gorging on a carton of ice cream.

Jackie K. Cooper
A modern version of Jane Austen's Persuasion that isn't very modern and not at all persuadable.
Crooked Marquee
Josh Bell
[Alicia] Witt is charming and vibrant, and the supporting cast, including reliable veterans Bebe Neuwirth and Mark Moses, sparkles.
AWFJ.org
Betsy Bozdech
Modern Persuasion is sweet and charming enough to please anyone who relishes a good comedy of manners with a side of swoon-worthy romance.
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
The artificial performances of characters who are more like caricatures certainly don't endear us to any of them or the story.
Film Threat
Sabina Dana Plasse
I did wonder what Jane Austen might have thought about this rendition because it definitely pushes boundaries, but in offbeat ways.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Amid all of the contrived romantic maneuvering, the witty charm and whimsical spirit of the book remain elusive.
Impressionist Media
Brigid Presecky
What sets Modern Persuasion apart is the laugh-out-loud humor consistently evident in the script and executed by an endearing cast.
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
It is the kind of movie that you can put on while wrapping presents and feel assured that no matter how busy you might wind up getting, you can do so without running the risk of getting too lost or confused as a result.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
It's fun and breezy, and an eyeful, directed by Jonathan Lisecki.
AWFJ.org
Susan Wloszczyna
Manages to blend the author's Regency-era vision with such Millennial fixations as social media, romantic hook-ups and party-hardy attitudes with a 21st-Century version of working gal tropes.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Both too innocuous and too flatly imagined to stir much feeling either way.

Kenneth R. Morefield
One senses (at least I did) that Lisecki and follow screenwriter Barbara Radecki get Austen's novel. Consequently, there is an attempt to be true to its themes and not just its plot points.

It's a charming new take on a classic story.
