Miss Austen would approve. Rated: B+ May 9, 2025 Full Review Peter Debruge Variety 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. Apr 30, 2025 Full Review Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) Far from postmodern cynicism, the film straddles the delicate terrain of a romantic comedy with a literary soul, capable of paying tribute to a legacy without completely falling into artifice or pastiche.
