Love & Friendship is a new movie out in select theaters May 13th, which stars Kate Becksinale, Chloe Sevigny, and Stephen Fry. Based on Jane Austen’s Lady Susan, filmmaker Whit Stillman reimagines the story in which Lady Susan achieves vindication. The film is pretty much Carrie bait, given that she adored Jane Austen’s Lady Susan.
So if you like Austen adaptations, check out both the Love & Friendship film, as well as the novelization which was published earlier this month!

To enter, comment below with some of your favorite retellings of classic literature!
Probably 10 Things I Hate About You is my favorite retelling of a classic.
I have always loved the movie “Little Women”!
10 Things I Hate About You is my favorite.
I really like the movie adaptions of Pride & Prejudice, Persuasion, Sense and Sensibility……………………..
Oooo! Adaptation / film with costumes! Yes, please. 😀
My first adaptation love is the Anne of Green Gables miniseries.
After that would be Little Women, BBC’s Pride and Prejudice, the Emma Thompson version of Sense and Sensibility, and grander films like 2012’s Anna Karenina. I could go on forever about this genre.
I like Emma with Gwyneth Paltrow.
I am a huge fan of Clueless, 10 Things I Hate About You, She’s the Man, and the forgotten gem Get Over It. There are so many great 90s teen literature retellings.
