The diverse world part works - Henry Golding as evil Mr. In keeping with prevailing trends, Netflix is aiming for a modernist period piece, swiping liberally from “Dickinson,” “The Great” and others with diverse casting, modern slang and fourth-wall breaking. As a result, this new movie feels as if it had been written by someone who had never cracked a Jane Austen novel, just watched a few trailers for “Pride and Prejudice” and “Emma,” opened Wikipedia for a plot summary and went from there. Perhaps the production did not think Anne Elliot as written would connect with 21st-century audiences. One cannot imagine this Anne Elliot ever being pushed around, let alone abused as the family’s de facto servant. She’s loud, feisty, flirty and as unlikable as the rest of her godawful family. She’s an anti-heroine in empire waist clothing.
Netflix’s Anne Elliot (Dakota Johnson, woefully miscast) is none of these things.
