A brilliant adaptation of the still very popular Jane Austen work; costume design, and especially set design, to the highest standards. But, what makes this a must-see are the performances: Anya Taylor-Joy establishes herself as one of the most talented of young actresses. The breadth she shows between this and her other starring role, in "The Witch" is nothing short of astonishing.Take your significant other and thank me later. No, unless you have an 85" tv do NOT settle for streaming or DVD-ing this. The beauty of the English countryside and those interiors (!) demand an outing.

Shallow, mindless, and boring. This is the worst adaptation I've seen. Maybe Gerwig should have done it. Poor Nighy was reduced to a mugging machine with no real interaction with others. I thought TJ lacked the acting chops to pull "sophisticated" comedy off.
I nearly walked out but the recliner was set just right. I'm glad you enjoyed it but it wasn't for me.
with Ms. Talentless Paltrow... why would it be any better the second time around!
Greta Gerwig's, "Little Women."
Nighy I thought brilliant as Mr. Woodhouse: it's meant to be a small role, but he makes it meaningful; he managed economically to show true affection for Emma (a real challenge, obviously, for most). I desperately wanted more screen time for him, but that's what you get!
The film rises and falls, of course, in the attraction between Knightley (was he ever called George?) and Emma. I thought the chemistry was powerful and believable. Knightley is a new star, I'd say, though he's mid-thirties in age. He's a musician, not an actor, heretofore. That should change.
