The film Sharper (2022), directed by Benjamin Caron, contains a Jane Eyre reference that has been quoted previously on this blog. This is the complete quote:
Directed by Benjamin Caron
Written by Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka

Sandra: And one night, I started reading Jane Eyre, and-and here was this character that was, sort of, going through everything I was going through. And I didn't want it to end. I finished it, went back to page one and started reading it all over again. Just loved books ever since.

Tom:  Jane Eyre, huh?

Sandra:  Jane Eyre.

Tom:  Can I show you something?

[In the bookstore. Tom shows Sandra a first edition of Jane Eyre]

Sandra: Oh, oh, my God. Is this a first edition?

Tom: Mm-hmm.

Sandra: Is this real?

Tom:  This is real.
EDIT: The Sunday Times reviews the movie and quotes the Jane Eyre reference:
On a first date she admires his first edition of Jane Eyre — “Is this real?” she asks — tells him of her childhood in various foster homes and, a little while later, reveals her urgent need of $350,000 for a brother who is deeply in debt to some bad men. (Tom Shone)
