Persuasion 2022 makes me want to visit Jane Austen’s grave and apologise

So here’s a compilation of hilariously scathing reviews. Enjoy!

-Clarisse Loughrey

How exactly does the line, “it is said if you’re a five in London, you’re a 10 in Bath”, improve on Austen’s work or make it any more palatable to modern audiences? Or what about the comments on being “an empath” and focusing on “self-care”? 

When Anne is reunited with Wentworth (Cosmo Jarvis), the man she once rejected, Austen writes: “Now they were as strangers; nay, worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted. It was a perpetual estrangement.” In the film? We get: “We are strangers. Worse than strangers. We’re exes.”

There’s nothing here that seems to drive her [Crackell’s] work (...) beyond the directive of capitalising on current trends. This is exactly what happens when art becomes a brand exercise.

There’s not even an attempt to be accurate here – Marianne Agertoft‘s costumes only look like Regency dress if you’d somehow been led to believe that the pages of this month’s Tatlermagazine had been shot out of a time machine. And, as much as I am loath to defend Bridgerton, the Netflix production Persuasion clearly modelled itself after, its anachronisms at least feel carefully chosen in order to give the series a poppy irreverence.

You can’t help but think what Austen would make of all this. She was nearly 40 when she wrote Persuasion, inches away from her deathbed. Anne’s pain in the novel is sharp, laced with the fear that she’s reached a point in life where she’s outrun every last opportunity, most especially for love. How do you absorb all of that feeling, only to give us an Anne who sighs performatively after she knocks a vessel of gravy on her head and boasts about dancing to Beethoven alone in her room “with a bottle of red”? How would the latter even happen in an era before record players?

                                   - x - x - x -                          - x - x - x -

Austen should be allowed a chance at the Instagram generation. But the frozen expression on romantic lead Cosmo Jarvis’s face throughout speaks louder than any review. (He can relax: one of the few things that can be said about this film with certainty is that it will be forgotten quickly.)

- Patrick Cremona

It all seems so forced and deliberate, more annoying and jarring than it is charming or inventive.

Then there are the frequent fourth-wall-breaking monologues, which start early on and continue to arrive at all too regular intervals throughout the runtime – with Alice providing a near-constant running commentary on the action, one that's neither witty nor insightful enough to be worth its while. It all allows a certain archness to take hold, a smugness that gets in the way of any emotional sincerity.

For the most part, it just feels rather drab and half-hearted, breezing along easily enough without ever injecting any real pizzazz into proceedings.

All this ensures the film commits one of cinema's cardinal sins – frankly, it's a little bit boring.

                                - x - x - x -                          - x - x - x -

In other words, the film’s Anne, unlike Austen’s quivering and stifled introvert, is that rom-com mainstay, the manic pixie dream girl, an ostensibly smart and capable woman whose klutziness and all-round-adorability ensures she’s completely non-threatening.

Sad but true, she (Dakota Johnson) is upstaged by the wallpaper on several occasions.

The famous ’letter scene’ is shrug-worthy. The final kiss moved me not.

                               - x - x - x -                          - x - x - x -

It’s set in the early 19th century, not remotely of Austen, but of Bridgerton, the success of which has unfortunately convinced Netflix that anything goes. Imagine flaunting an antique copy of the novel in a full-cosplay selfie, but holding it upside down.

Meanwhile, the dialogue perpetrates five war crimes per minute.

The way Michell finessed the most autumnal of Austen’s works, with Amanda Root cast to perfection, set a gold standard. This takes a flailing leap, but it’s neither audacious enough to commit to a singular vision, nor shrewd enough to get the novel right. It nosedives between two stools and never gets up.

                               - x - x - x -                          - x - x - x -

It is like an Austen amuse bouche — an entry-level cover version that tries to rev up the humor and speak directly to Gen Z by using its lingo — or at least an advertising executive's idea of what Gen Z sounds like. 

-Lindsey Bahr 

Instead, viewers get brief snippets of Anne’s internal character conflict and her yearning for Wentworth. By extension, Wentworth is always shafted and his character falls short due to the comedic tone of the film. Anne and Wentworth have clumsy and awkward exchanges that feature the sort of delivery you’d expect from an episode of The Office as opposed to a romance about healing the wounds of two heartbroken people.

Characters are constantly espousing modern beliefs. “A woman without a husband is not a problem to be solved,” says one sagely, greeted with a wry smile by Anne. Except that in 1817, unmarried women faced ridicule, lack of social agency and destitution, something Anne and Austen knew all too well. By removing Austen’s thematic concerns – class, spinsterhood, the questionable power of persuasion – there are simply no real barriers to Anne and Wentworth’s reunion. Indeed, it’s hard to see how this spirited person could be persuaded to do anything. With such low stakes, the film crawls along without momentum.

I’m all for modernising the classics (see 2020’s Emma for Austen with an injection of over-the-top fun) but this one can’t decide if it’s trying to amuse or edify and consequently does neither. Bring back Bridgerton, please.

- Francesca Steele

Sadly Persuasion, not only the worst Austen adaptation but one of the worst movies in recent memory, delivers on all the agony and none of the hope. 

The filmmakers have served up a soggy mess of limp rom-com clichés that does a disservice not only to Austen but to all her contemporary inheritors, from Cher Horowitz to Bridget Jones. As played by Dakota Johnson, the novel’s heroine Anne Elliot, a lovelorn, bookish, self-effacing woman on the cusp of spinsterhood, becomes an insufferably coy scatterbrain who speaks in 21st-century buzzwords 

There is updating classic literature to bring it in tune with modern sensibilities, and then there is insulting the viewer’s intelligence. Persuasion’s endlessly attempts to pander to young audiences presumed incapable of understanding any message not conveyed via Instagram hashtag 

Unfortunately, as played by Cosmo Jarvis, Wentworth is also something of a lifeless sad sack. His pining for Anne is believable enough, but his character is so thinly written that it’s hard to see whatever qualities induced her to spend eight years pining for him. 

In this movie, eligible men are mostly nattily attired scarecrows on which to hang romantic longing. 

The fine shadings of social class that drive the novel’s conflict are mostly lost in this translation to the screen. The presence of Black, Asian, and mixed-race actors in the cast at first feels refreshing, but any intended social commentary is lost in the script’s thematic muddle.

it’s hard to overstate what unpleasant company Johnson’s Anne Elliot is. She performatively chugs red wine straight from the bottle, goes everywhere cuddling a never-explained pet rabbit, and interrupts one stodgy teatime with an extended and charmless non sequitur about a recurring dream that an octopus is sucking her face.

she (Austen) describes Anne and Wentworth’s long-ago affair as “a short period of exquisite felicity.” The only such moment afforded by Persuasion is when the closing credits finally start to roll.

You Are Officially Eliminated, Pittsburgh Pirates

My Dearest Pittsburgh Pirates,

I know, I know. I’m late. I’ve been a little under the weather and haven’t felt up to writing. No, this isn’t some passive aggressive way to punish you for officially being eliminated from the post season this week. I was seriously sick. You actually put together a nice week. You swept the Kansas City Royals at home to get them across that 100 loss threshold. You weren’t as successful in the final homestand of the season losing two out of three to the Milwaukee Brewers. The season finale at PNC Park was particularly ugly losing 13-6 in a game that featured you giving up a three-run wild pitch. You never cease to amaze me. You’ve played half of your series in Chicago already and have won the first two. That’s something I wouldn’t have expected when you weren’t ridiculously injured. With the Miami rain makeup on October 1st being cancelled, that means you will only play 161 games this season instead of the usual 162. You are 80-76 which means you are only one win away from having a winning season. This season obviously wasn’t everything you or I wanted it to be, but it’s shown upside and potential. It would be nice to cap off 2018 with a winning season. You didn’t have one for twenty years so, while that’s never the ultimate goal, that isn’t nothing. While you are already looking ahead to next year, it would be nice to finish out healthy and strong.

Speaking of health, you now had two significant injuries hit the pitching rotation this week. Chad Kuhl had Tommy John surgery this past week which means he is out for the entire 2019 season. You and him lived in denial for the last few months probably seeing if there was any improvement in order to avoid surgery. That didn’t happen. 14-16 months of recovery means we will see him in 2020 with a long road back to the major league level. With Nick Kingham getting racked in a spot start on Sunday, the rotational depth for next season looks shaky. The other injury is Joe Musgrove whose season is over. He’s dealing with a stress reaction on the front of his pelvic bone and an abdominal wall muscle strain. I don’t know what the hell that means but apparently they will see how it progresses in the next six weeks to see if it requires surgery. That doesn’t sound like something that should carry in to next year, but surgery is surgery so you never know. Musgrove put together a fine first campaign with you, putting up a 4.06 ERA, a 3.58 FIP, and a 1.18 WHIP. Not bad at all for his first full season as a starter. He looks like the only quality part of the Cole trade especially with four more years of control. Let’s just hope that we don’t add him to the list of people missing the start of next season because there’s a lot to be excited about with him.

Speaking of excitement, Pablo Reyes is making quite a name for himself. He was promoted with other September call ups and has played well enough to be an everyday starter for the rest of this season. Polanco’s injury has given him the chance to start in RF every day. His value could really be in his versatility given that he can play both corner outfield spots, 2B, and 3B. Since September 1st, he has splits of .357/.426/.595 for a 1.021 OPS in only 42 at bats. He also has three homers in that time. Reyes wasn’t exactly an offensive force in the minors this year. In AAA this year, he had splits of .289/.341/.435 for a .776 OPS in 420 at bats with 8 homers and 36 RBIs. Not exactly crushing it. He did add 13 stolen bases which isn’t a bad bonus. I don’t know yet if he’s a legitimate candidate for the bench next season but with most of our available money this offseason going to prospective infield starters, it would be nice to have some other options. There’s a distinct possibility this is a rare offensive streak that could be gone before we know it. He does seem to have a nice, compact swing and the ability to be a difference maker. It’s early but he reminds me a little of a young Josh Harrison. That might be an overstatement as utility players go, but he’s been fun to watch so far.

Speaking of JHay, one big moment happened this week. PNC Park said goodbye to Jordy Mercer and JHay, two players unlikely to return next season. Mercer has always had a steady glove and was very helpful in the 2013-2015 playoff run. His WAR in 2013 and 2014 were 1.9 and 2.8 respectively. I’ll always appreciate the consistency he provided at shortstop which can be a hard thing to find. Thanks for the run, Jordy. JHay was marred the last couple years with injuries, a less than stellar bat, and an inflated contract. Before that, JHay was the most electric player on the team. He was a ball player by every definition of the term. He played every position, sparked rallies, and always had clutch hits. The stage never seemed too big for him. Everyone will always talk about the two different times he brilliantly maneuvered a rundown in a perfect depiction of intelligence and athleticism. In 2014, one of his two All Star seasons, he was arguably your most important player and led you to the playoffs finishing the season with a 5.5 WAR and 9th in MVP voting, unheard of for him before that season. Other than Cutch at his peak, JHay was my favorite Pirate. I know the ‘blue collar Pittsburgh player’ label gets thrown around a lot, but he really exemplified it. I’ll always root for good things for JHay. He was a hard worker and a likeable star.  I’ll miss you, JHay. Thanks for everything...

 The final week of the season is upon us. It’s actually basically half over thanks to my delay. You play two more games against the Chicago Cubs, who are still fighting for the division with only a half game lead in the division and a chance to help send them to Wildcard game instead of a division championship. You end the season with a three-game series in Cincinnati with the Reds. The rest of this week will be about getting to a winning season. Then you can start to look ahead to the offseason and 2019, where there’s an actual reason for excitement. This offense needs a lot of help but it’s always easier to find hitting then it is pitching. With the rotation and even the bullpen basically set, there are reasons to be optimistic. I’ll get into that more next week. For now, let’s just finish out strong and, most importantly, healthy. The only disappointment recently has been the seriousness of the injuries that occurred down the stretch. We can’t afford anymore of those so PLEASE be careful. I beg you. Have a good final week and I’ll talk to you soon.

                                      I Just Don’t Want Anymore Bad Things To Happen,

                                                                              Brad

P.S. stands for Pittsburgh Steelers who got an ugly but much needed win on Monday night over the Tampa Bay Bucs. The offense and defense played a terrific first half getting them out to a large lead. They squandered that in the second half thanks to bad offense, bad defense, and an absurd amount of penalties. It was an ugly game to watch but all that matters is the W. This week the Steelers (1-1-1) face the division rival Baltimore Ravens (2-1) at Heinz Field on Sunday Night Football. It’s a huge game, like every Ravens game usually is, so here’s hoping they can clean up their play and keep the offense rolling.

It’s Time To Move Forward, Pittsburgh Pirates

My Dearest Pittsburgh Pirates, 

Sorry for the delay on this letter. I was out of town for the long weekend and didn’t have the chance to get it to you. This week was more of the same. While it’s hard to be too upset anymore, because it’s over and you are already looking forward to next year, you still performed below expectations. Facing two playoff caliber teams is never easy especially on the road so I wasn’t terribly surprised when you lost two out of three to both the Cardinals and Braves. Your offense has still been terribly lacking with only eleven runs scored in those six games. You opened it up a bit yesterday beating the Reds 5-1 though you didn’t even pull ahead until late in the game and that was only because of the two people who currently have the best OPS on your team: Gregory Polanco and Adam Frazier. Yes, Adam Frazier. That’s due in part to his 4 for 4 day with three RBI’s, a homer, and he finished a triple short of the cycle. You want a stat I bet you never thought you would see at the beginning of the season? Adam Frazier currently has as many homers as Josh Bell with eight a piece. While that’s a positive sign for the re-emergence of Frazier, it also goes to show you how disappointing of a season Bell has put together. This is where we learn who is a viable option for next season and what needs to be addressed. If you happen to win some games in the process, I wouldn’t be mad about it.

You made a couple of surprise moves this weekend before the waiver trade deadline expired. Adeiny Hechavarria, who you recently acquired, was dealt to the Yankees. That’s not terribly surprising given that you are out of the hunt and you want to give Kevin Newman the opportunity to start every day. The more surprising move was dealing David Freese to the Dodgers and most likely ending his tenure with you. I was under the assumption that you would pick up Freese’s six million dollar option this offseason after how disappointing Colin Moran has played. There’s still a small chance the Dodgers could not pick up the option, he could become a free agent, and you could resign him but that seems very unlikely. With Freese gone, you are in a position now where Colin Moran is your only third baseman. Start him the rest of the season. I’m fine with that to see if he somehow explodes. He CAN’T be your only option there for next season. He has a 0.5 WAR in 371 at bats. That’s not remotely good enough to start. Ke’Bryan Hayes had dominant week in Double-A and could be your everyday starting third baseman in a year or two but you have a window now where you can’t afford to waste a year. Signing someone like a Mike Moustakas, Jed Lowrie, or Asdrubal Cabrera is a short term investment that you need to make this offseason. With how bad Bell has been at first, you can’t afford to go into next season with two corner infield spots that could be total duds in the lineup. You have money so go spend it.  

Trevor Williams is on a historic pace right now. He pitched another 6 2/3 scoreless innings yesterday giving him a 0.74 ERA since the All Star break. The record for lowest ERA after the All Star break was set by Jake Arrieta in 2015 with a 0.75 ERA. You remember that season? He dominated you in the Wildcard game and you haven’t had a winning season since? I thought that might jog your memory. Williams has been unstoppable mixing different pitches at different speeds and placing them perfectly. He now holds a 3.16 ERA for the season and has solidified himself as a starter in this rotation next year. There has been a lot of criticism about your ability to develop pitchers with Gerrit Cole leaving and becoming a Cy Young candidate and even Tyler Glasnow looked great again this weekend going seven strong innings. Those criticisms are extremely valid but you also have to give credit when it’s due. Williams (3.16 ERA, 1.18 WHIP) and Taillon (3.45 ERA, 1.20 WHIP) have put together terrific seasons and if you are going to solely blame the Pirates for not developing the others, which again is valid, then you also need to credit them when pitchers do well. I’m not saying there isn’t a potentially huge issue with your pitcher development. We will have a better idea of the severity once Mitch Keller is ready to be promoted. I just think these are two instances that have seemed to work out very well and it needs to be recognized.

Since you have basically been eliminated from the playoff picture, Kevin Newman has been playing almost everyday at shortstop. It hasn’t gone very well. Newman made a devastating error that helped lose you the game on Saturday. He’s also shown no signs of life at the plate batting .121 with a .346 OPS. It’s only been 33 at bats so it’s hard to truly judge him on that small of a sample size. The problem is he had terrible splits in the minors versus righties with only a .705 OPS. When he faces a lefty, it’s .866 which is good but that makes him a platoon player, not a starter. Newman can be the backup SS next year and get some starts against lefties. You can also sub him in for Frazier late in games if he ends up being your starting 2B next year, which seems likely. You can’t go into next season planning for him to be your everyday shortstop. You just can’t. Even though you traded Hechavarria, you could still bring him back as a free agent. That should be your worst case scenario if you can’t find a better bat on the free agent market. Newman can be your backup middle infielder next year and I’m fine with that. But nothing more.  

This week is much easier than the last two because you are playing two last place teams. You finish out the series with Cincinnati at PNC Park today and tomorrow. You have a day off Thursday before the Miami Marlins come to town. It’s the last month of the season and you are out of the playoff picture. Time to play the young guys to see what they have but it’s also smart to limit the starting pitchers. Guys like Musgrove, Taillon, and Williams have already exceeded their innings pitched total from years past. The last thing you want is one of these guys getting hurt for a totally unnecessary reason. Nick Kingham started for Nova on Sunday who had to deal with a family matter. Kingham should basically be used as a sixth starter for this month in order to limit the others.  Overall, your rosters have expanded so there’s no reason for anyone to get overplayed at this point. The only thing that matters now is for the younger guys to get some development time and to keep everyone healthy. Go have fun and try to get better as a team. Then this offseason I hope you will open your checkbook to get better as a team. Have a good week and talk to you next weekend!

P.S. stands for playing still which I’m referring to a couple former Buccos. Cutch’s mediocre season in San Francisco was cut short when he was traded to the New York Yankees this week where another prominent former Pirate, Neil Walker, now resides. I happened to be in Oakland yesterday to watch the A’s play the Yankees so I got to see them in person. Walker struck out in a big situation and Cutch had one hit, stole a base, and scored in the loss. It was funny to see them on the field together again playing for a contender. Just thought I’d mention it…

Phillies small underdog at Pirates on Friday MLB odds

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports

The Philadelphia Phillies visit the Pittsburgh Pirates for a three-game series starting on Friday, with the road team set as the small underdog in the opener.

The Philadelphia Phillies are 6-1 in their last seven games against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Phillies will try to keep that run of success going on Friday night when they take on the Pirates in the first game of a three-game series.

Philadelphia is a slight road underdog at -102 on the MLB odds in Pittsburgh at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Jake Arrieta will take the mound for the Phillies against Jordan Lyles and the Pirates as -108 home favorites.

Betting Line / Total: Pittsburgh -108 / 10 Runs

Phillies at Pirates OddsShark Matchup Report

Philadelphia Phillies Betting Notes

After getting crushed by the Los Angeles Dodgers 16-2 on Monday night, the Phillies bounced back to win two of their next three games against the defending National League champions.

With a record of 50-47 on the season, the Phillies enter Friday’s action 7.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves in the NL East standings and a half-game back in the NL wild card race. Perhaps this fiery series against the Dodgers will spark something in the Phillies, but a 3-4 homestand to start the second half is not what the team had in mind.

While Jake Arrieta has struggled this season with a 4.54 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP, the Phillies are still 7-3 in his last 10 starts per the OddsShark MLB Database.

Pittsburgh Pirates Betting Notes

Pittsburgh had a golden opportunity to make up some ground in the tight race for the lead in the NL Central when it came out of the break with back-to-back series against division rivals in the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals.

But after getting swept by the Cubs and losing two of three in St. Louis, the Pirates are now 45-50 on the season and sitting 6.5 back for the division lead. The Pirates will look for better results at home, where they are 22-21 on the season and 11-4 in their last 15 games against the Phillies.

Phillies at Pirates Betting Total

Friday night’s total is set at 10 runs. The UNDER is 8-1-3 in the last 12 games between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.

Both of these teams could seriously use some momentum with a strong series this weekend. Zach Eflin vs. Trevor Williams is the projected pitching matchup for Saturday night and Vince Velasquez will face Joe Musgrove on Sunday afternoon.

Performers Light Up Stages’ Exuberant ‘The Boy from Oz’

By Lynn Venhaus Managing Editor Although Peter Allen did not get a Hollywood ending, his remarkable true-life story of how he skyrocketed to fame through sheer talent, drive and his ebullient personality deserves a splashy musical as good as Stages St. Louis production.

“The Boy from Oz” is the kind of glitzy material that the company has excelled at for 33 seasons, their intimate stage a…
