Rendy Jones Rendy Reviews A delightful and witty French rom-com as warm as a cup of tea on a nice wintry d Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 7, 2025 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots 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. Apr 5, 2025 Full Review Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment When a film is so boldly going to reference Jane Austen, one hopes it can deliver a core story rooted in emotions that feel authentic to the characters involved. Rated: 7/10 Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij Screen International The resulting gymnastic split is occasionally a little uncomfortable, but also charming in an immediate, earthy way.
