Enjoyable, uplifting, gorgeous!!! Fabulous adaptation.
I was hesitant to see this in theaters due to COVID-19. So glad they made it available here. I have to say, of all the versions of EMMA that I've seen [and I think I've seen all of them...] this one shines. The acting is spot on, the costumes are incredible, the sets are a feast for the eyes. Prior to this my favorite version of EMMA was the 1995 version with Kate Beckinsale, but I have to say Anna Taylor-Joy captures the haughtiness and sensitivity of the character so much more. Finally: As a professional fashion historian I appreciate that SO many of the vignettes and scenes seemed to come directly from popular Georgian engravings... Such a treat!!!
