Tis alright

I thought this movie was alright. I wasn't expecting it to be primarily in French, but if that doesn't deter you, it's worth watching! I don't know if Charlie Anson has inquisitive eyes or creeper eyes, but he walks a fine line in this movie. The romance between his character, Oliver, and Agatha is kind underdeveloped. Throughout most of this movie, it just feels like something is missing. Nevertheless, an inquisitively eyed guy meets annoyed RBF woman and go! That's this movie, and it's alright, closer to being good than bad. This movie fits very well into itself, and I mean, you're expecting a fairy tale like romance to develop, but it can't because of the disposition and assumptions and chaos and trauma of Agatha, and you get that. I don't think you really feel what she's feeling, but you get it well enough to understand. This movie has the capacity to make you smile and laugh and feel contentment with its conclusion. I'd recommend a watch. Ideally, it's better suited for a streaming, date night kinda movie.

OK

For me, one of the weaknesses of the film was that although most of it was set in England, it was all filmed in France. A French chateau does not look like an English country house, which gave it an artificial feeling.It was OK, but didn't convince. Perhaps they tried to include too many story lines, such as a childhood trauma, complicated family, man with dementia, etc, which didn't add anything to the story. This left too little time for the romance to blossom realistically.

Slow-paced but engaging romantic comedy

It's a romantic comedy set in Paris, southern England and a French vacation home in modern times. Agathe Robinson (Camille Rutherford) runs a Paris bookshop specializing in classical English literature with her best friend, Félix (Pablo Pauly). Agathe is a fragile person devoted to her literary father's memory (she survived the car accident that killed her parents) and her desire to write a novel in the manner of Jane Austen. She has written some chapters but is stuck.Félix arranges for her to be invited to a Jane Austen Residency on property belonging to a distant descendant of the Austen family. There, she meets Oliver (Charlie Anson), a professor in contemporary literature and the son of Todd (Alan Fairbairn) and Beth (Liz Crowther), who run the Residency."Jane Austen a gâché ma vie" tracks Agathe's efforts at the Residency and her complex relationships with Oliver and Félix. By the end, there is a resolution."Jane Austen a gâché ma vie" is a slow-paced yet engaging movie. Camille Rutherford and Charlie Anson provide the most interesting and developed characters. Pablo Pauly's character is less defined. The other Residency attendees fill slots in a literary film. It's not a laugh-out-loud comedy, but the low-key approach works surprisingly well.
