After watching more than 300 Agatha Christie adaptations and documentaries, it was time for something more genteel.
Teresa Peschel, the Anthony award-nominated author of “Agatha Christie, She Watched” and the “International Agatha Christie, She Watched,” will be review all of the contemporary and modern Austen adaptations we can find. She’ll also be reviewing the many documentaries about the author, as well as movies in which Austen appears as a character, or are Austen-adjacent movies (such as “The Jane Austen Book Club” and “Jane Austen Ruined My Life”).
We plan on posting a review every week to keep you up to date on the project. We’ll post the links on this page so you can find them all easily.
We’ll also post links to these reviews on our Instagram, Facebook and X accounts. Subscribe to them to stay abreast of the project!
