Agathe (Camille Rutherford) is a hopelessly clumsy yet charming young woman who works in the legendary Shakespeare & Co. bookshop in Paris, while she dreams of being a successful writer, and of experiencing love akin to a Jane Austen novel, she finds herself desperately single and plagued by writers block. When Agathe’s best friend (Pablo Pauly) gets her invited to the Jane Austen Writers' Residency in England, she finally has her Jane Austen moment…and is caught in a very unexpected romantic triangle. Agathe must let go of her insecurities to decide what she really wants for herself, and to achieve her romantic and professional dreams. [Sony Picture Classics]

Watch Trailer

"Filmmaker Laura Piani's delightful cinematic romp is catnip for Austen/rom-com lovers."

— Pam Grady, AWFJ.org

"As a rom/com, JANE AUSTEN WRECKED MY LIFE hits all the right notes. The supremely entertaining film is easily one of the best movies of the year thus far."

— David Kaplan, Kaplan vs. Kaplan

"While capturing the essence of Austen’s voice, Piani makes her voice clear in a remarkably confident feature debut that harkens to the golden age of rom-coms."

— Nadia Dalimonte, Next Best Picture

"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."

— Peter Debruge, Variety

"Jane Austen Wrecked My Life sweeps us off our feet and encourages us not to settle for anything less than what we deserve, reminding us that love and personal growth go hand in hand."

— Megan Loucks, InSession Film

"With its clever blend of literary homage and contemporary storytelling, this smart, endearing film is a treat for Austen fans as well as those who appreciate a thoughtful exploration of personal and creative aspirations."

— Louisa Moore, Screen Zealots

"In her utterly charming debut, writer-director Laura Piani draws from Austen’s works while crafting a wholly contemporary romantic comedy that stands on its own merits. A breezy and smart exploration of the competing modern desires for both connection and escapism, Piani’s film also delves into how past tragedies and heartbreaks can cause us to live like supporting characters in our own lives."
