Jane Austen Wrecked My Life Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Modestly scoped, sometimes sweetly dopey, and sincerely moving, Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is a charmer.
NPR
John Powers
The risk in explicitly evoking Austen is that it instantly raises our standards. And sadly, Piani can't match her model's clarity or élan. Her movie is tamer and more sentimental, and utterly unconcerned with society.
RogerEbert.com
Jourdain Searles
A romantic comedy for the quiet, thoughtful lovers who yearn for the sincerity of the past.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
The true draw in Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is Agathe, a compelling protagonist whose passion for literature and love keeps us sufficiently engaged.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
"Jane Austen Wrecked My Life" is a gentle treat, sure to leave any book-loving viewer happy.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
The kind of warm romance that will make any bookish dreamer swoon, as a thoroughly modern woman with old-fashioned ideas about love experiences her own Austenesque tumble.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
By the end, romance in the abstract becomes something much more real - and we can't help but fall for all these characters ourselves.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Piani's film is, in itself, a comfort zone for viewers, the latest of many cinematic mash notes to Jane Austen, from "Clueless" to four "Bridget Jones" movies.
Wall Street Journal
Zachary Barnes
A classic meet cute, in its way. Yet the film's teasing efforts to develop this relationship throughout the rest of its roughly 90-minute runtime never quite come together as one might hope.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
There is a ball, a seductive dance that reveals more than words can, a chance encounter, a sexual misadventure, and a final flood of romantic emotion so contagious that Austen lovers will find the film irresistible.
New York Times
Alissa Wilkinson
In the end, "Jane Austen Wrecked My Life" is both pleasantly diverting and sneakily wise.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
A celebration of bibliophilia and cinephilia alike.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
[Piani's] understanding and appreciation of the genre is a dream come true for romantics who know that Mr. Darcy isn't the ultimate prize when an independent woman seeks happiness and companionship.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The tendency to overdose on literary preciousness is ever present. But first-time writer-director Laura Piani doesn't push the Austen parallels. And the twist here -- Agathe is more of an Austen idolater than an Austen protagonist -- is fresh.
Arizona Republic
Meredith G. White
What it lacks in originality, it makes up for in that the actors feel rooted in reality.
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
It may not be a strict adaptation, but it has Jane Austen's soul.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
Austen fans might balk a bit at how much this one goes off-script into its own territory, but the spirit of Austen runs deep. After all, what's more Austenian than making the main event a story about a woman living life on her own terms?
San Francisco Chronicle
Lily Janiak
The result, with Agathe neither towering wit nor dumpster fire nor book snob, is a refreshingly light touch and a heroine unexaggerated by what Hollywood always thinks we want.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
While the romantic resolution is satisfying, it is not the solution, but rather a reflection of the courage and determination Agathe has relied on in addressing the issues that keeping her stuck. Miss Austen would approve.
Variety
Peter Debruge
At a time when practically the entire rom-com genre has gravitated to streaming, this bilingual theatrical offering from Sony Pictures Classics feels like the best kind of throwback.
