This film is so utterly miscast. There is no chemistry bewtween Emma and Knightley, Emma is charmless, Knightley is generic, Frank churchill unappealing (just remember Ewan McGregor!
2 hours of boredom. Most disappointing film of 2020.
Yet another of the myriad Jane Austen adaptations, which, I have to admit I enjoy. This version of Emma lives up to most Jane Austen renditions in that it is a gentle, sweet, soft kind of story that gives you a gentle, sweet feeling.
This was a pleasant and entertaining film which is well paced. A good soundtrack.
This new adaptation of the classic Jane Austen novel seems to be getting mixed reviews, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.With a good central performance from Anya Taylor-Joy, and good support from Bill Nighy etc, this managed to combine humour with period drama well.
Visual perfection! Lovely performances - exquisite photography, each scene frame worthy.
Emma. is a great period drama that's extremely eccentric, fun and charming.
I know without looking lots of pro reviewers are going to compare this to candyfloss or a similar sugary but substance-less confectionery. Despite the shallowness it is mostly a good and competent adaption with authentic period details, but I feel Emma should have been more likable and clearly good hearted.
This recent film rendition of Jane Austen's Emma (curiously here called "Emma." With a period) enjoyably carries the opulence of the 19th century landed gentry with a modernist modicum of biting satire.
