Agathe loves her job in the legendary Shakespeare & Co bookshop in Paris. But she dreams of finally finishing one of the many stories she starts writing and finding a great romance like the ones in the novels of her favourite author, Jane Austen. When an unexpected invitation to the Jane Austen Writers’ Residency in England lands in her lap, Agathe is in for an eye-opening and life-changing experience.

Encouraged by her eccentric co-residents to explore her true self, Agathe realises it’s time to take control. Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is a breezy, smart exploration of competing modern desires for both connection and escapism, while also delving into how past heartbreaks can cause us to live like supporting characters in our own lives.

This funny and smart French comedy instead gives us a 21st-century Jane Austen. British-French actor Camille Rutherford is terrific. – Guardian

Laura Piani’s splendid debut balances reality with the effervescent charm of vintage swooners.. a light-hearted farce… the film is at once old-fashioned and refreshingly, realistically up to date in its take. – Variety

A romantic comedy for the quiet, thoughtful lovers who yearn for the sincerity of the past. – RogerEbert.com

In the end, “Jane Austen Wrecked My Life” is both pleasantly diverting and sneakily wise. – New York TimesEven the most austere observer would be hard-pushed not to shed a tear or two. - Eye for Film
