Becoming Jane
Why we love it ❤️

Okay, if you're into period dramas that absolutely wreck your emotions, this one's for you. It's giving major 'right person, wrong time' vibes with all the gorgeous Regency-era aesthetics. Plus, Anne Hathaway as Jane Austen and James McAvoy doing his charming, intense thing? We are absolutely not okay after watching them navigate that impossible romance.

What is Becoming Jane about?

Before she became the iconic novelist, young Jane Austen faces pressure from her family to marry for financial security, specifically to a wealthy suitor chosen by Lady Gresham. However, Jane, driven by her creativity and self-worth, finds herself drawn to Tom Lefroy, a charming but penniless lawyer. Their forbidden romance challenges societal expectations and ultimately provides the emotional depth that would later inspire her renowned literary works.
