EMMA.

Far and away the best adaptation of Emma thus far, in my opinion. It's quite true to the story of the book, beautiful to look at, funny, sweet, and bright. Feels modern and updated but not too separated from the time period of the story, highly recommend this one!

Admittedly in the book Emma is quite childish and I understand they were trying to approach a Jane Austen story with some humor but some of this was just weird. The characters seemed like they didn't really fit in and they weren't really all that likeable. I've watched other versions of Emma multiple times, I wouldn't watch this a second time.

Proof that modern Austen film adaptations not only have merit but that there are still new things to explore. Most importantly, its quite funny while managing to not engage in too many anachronisms.

This was so bizarre. I guess it just wasn't my style of visuals or humor.

Inesperado para ver pero encantador

O livro Emma já foi adaptado de várias outras maneiras pelo cinema, já sabendo disso fui sem expectativas e até me diverti. Em alguns momentos acabei saindo do filme e definitivamente o casal principal não funcionou para mim, contudo a Emma da sempre excelente Anya Taylor-Joy é adorável e por causa dela consegui ver até o fim sem cansar. Gostei mas não é nada que irá me marcar por muito tempo, os visuais são maravilhosos, os atores bem colocados, a história não é nada de inovador mas é amarradinha, por isso não acho que tenha perdido um tempo precioso da minha vida.

Started watching it and quickly realized that it is a masterpiece but I am missing plot details. Stopped watching it to read a book (never read it before) then started watching it all over again. Total enjoinment!! Kept rewinding each episode over and over, so much details in each character acting. Excellent costumes, beautiful interiors. tremendous outdoors. On top of that I have just cot back from England where I traveled across British countryside and small historical cities/villages so I have just seen this all pretty much with my own eyes.

Emma is a self-proclaimed matchmaker who meddles in the romantic relationships of her friends. Her misguided matches and romantic missteps lead her to find love that has been there all along. Emma is another Jane Austen based movie, but actually done right. I am really surprised by how much I adore this film. The movie opens solidly, you are introduced to the world of royalty and the characters that live in it, but you are still searching for what the story is going to be, but when you are used to this world and tone, the movie flows naturally by. Anya Taylor-Joy was by far my favorite performance of this movie, and I would have liked to have seen her nominated for this absolutely stunning performance. Mia Goth and the rest of the cast is great as well, and Miranda Hart has a great supporting role, she is really funny and still emotionally impactful in moments towards the end of the film. I must say, the editing was almost flawless, it surprised me how good it was. The style and tone absolutely clicked for me, I just wanted to be there, sit by the fire, dance in the evening and ride in the dark. The movie brilliantly balances humor and drama together, to the point you are laughing and almost crying at the same time. Sure the story is a bit simple at the surface, but with all the character development and twist/turns going around, the movie feels more complex, then you thought at the surface. Overall, I am in love with this movie, a stunning Jane Austen adaptation, a stunning period film and a stunning character study, that knows how to balance itself, I would absolutely recommend this to everybody, especially for fans of this genre!

Very bright and colorful through cinematography as well as humor!

I wasn't sure the first time, but on second viewing I really enjoyed this. It doesn't have the same romantic pull as the 2009 mini series with Jonny Lee Miller and Romola Garai (which is my favourite Emma adaptation), but it's clever, satirical and very funny. It definitely captures Austen's playfulness and wit and the character of Emma is really quite unlikeable, which Austen herself acknowledged. Callum Turner as Frank Churchill is a bit disappointing, but I loved Josh O'Connor as Mr Elton! Lots of fun, apart from that scene involving noses - ugh!
