Read moreNorthanger Abbey is Austen’s most spooky, fall film and while it’s always an appropriate time to watch it, October is truly the best time.
Read moreThere are a lot of things Autumn de Wilde’s Emma gets right, and a few things that it doesn’t. (Namely, it’s length. As Austen’s longest book, if this film was a mini-series instead, goodness, it’d be sublime.) But where it continues to stand out apart from its stunning cinematography is the showcase of overwhelming emotions. In this adaptation, emotions are front and center—no one is shying away from them, and
Read moreCruella is a true vibe of a movie, and I found Emma Thompson delightful to watch in it, but that’s unsurprising, as I find her delightful to watch in pretty much everything she does. A few days after going to see it, Sense and Sensibility was on television as I was flipping through channels, and that’s always a movie I keep on whenever I come across it. It’s a favorite

Read moreEmma is my favorite of Jane Austen’s novels and this version especially reigns superior. We’ve written about the 2020 version plenty of times as well, but where Knightley’s confession is concerned, the way it happens in BBC’s mini series single handedly ranks as most superior. Emma and Knightley’s relationship has always been the most pleasant showcase of two people who’ve known each other for years gradually falling in love. What

Read more“How is it possible that there hasn’t been a single betrothal yet? I wish to be entertained.” We get it, Queen Charlotte, we do and we’re right there with you except we’re asking how it’s possible that it took this long for romance novels to get the rightful attention that they deserve. Repeat after us: change is good—change is necessary. There might never come a time where the romance genre
Read moreSpoilers Ahead Welcome to Sanditon weekly, darling readers — the tropey-est, most exhilarating episode yet, we’re two away from the season finale and things are getting deliciously captivating. It picks up right where we left off last week with Charlotte on her way to London in hopes of finding Georgiana, except what she finds instead is Sidney on the same mission. And who doesn’t love an unplanned trope filled mission?
Read moreSpoilers Ahead That cricket match alone calls for some spiked tea, darling readers. Welcome to another episode of Sanditon weekly where we’ve sadly made little progress, but the series is continuing to reiterate the importance of transparency in relationships. The significance of being open and honest with our beliefs is essentially the very thing that strengthens us as humans, too. It’s what allows situations to flow smoother as opposed to
Read moreSpoilers Ahead Sanditon’s second episode gives viewers plenty to sit with, good and bad — a jam packed hour full of some riveting moments that touch on the theme of class and judgement bitterly. It’s an episode full of some of the most cringeworthy statements along with some of the most relatable ones, but most exquisitely, it’s a testament to friendship, and Austen’s way of writing steadfast female friendships. If
Read moreSidney and Charlotte’s conversation on the balcony in Sanditon Episode 8 is a lovely moment that merits a breakdown.
