Anna Taylor played a delightfully mischevious Emma.

Gosh... I love Anya Taylor Joy but couldn't for the life of me care about this story. It's visually stunning and all but ugh... unapologetically boring.

High production values with the costumes and sets but I didn't care for the plot or characters and didn't find it funny.

I *love* Emma. It is one of my favorite stories of Jane Austen's. I find it endlessly entertaining how much of an entitled brat she is at the beginning to then grow up and mature throughout the story.

However, I gotta admit, the BBC's mini series remains my favorite retelling of this old classic (with the modern Youtube adaptation a close second). This version was whimsical and fun, and definitely didn't take itself at all seriously, but at times it was almost like a parody. Also, I don't know that it did a good job of explaining how Harriet came to be in Emma's life. And don't get me started about her missing eyebrows. So distracting! LOL

Maybe a rewatch of the miniseries is in order now that we're all on lockdown because of the Coronavirus pandemic. I'll add it to the list after the Little Women miniseries, which I also feel like rewatching after the new movie.

Beautiful sets, costumes and design. The best Miss Bates and a fun jaunt into our favourite land of Austen. Weirdly unnecessary use of nudity and glossing over of the storytelling (probably as it has been well and truly told before, so fair enough). So beautiful!

Did we really need another adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma? Not really, but putting aside all notions of sense and sensibility, and perhaps your personal feelings of pride and prejudice, this is still a film worth watching, and that's partly because of the twinkling sense of humour at the movie's heart.

All I can say is meh. Really didn't care about it.

I really want to like this adaptation but after giving it a second chance I still don’t like it. The music doesn’t fit, the comedy is trying too hard, Knightley is unlikable, I don’t like the way it’s shot, most of the sets are ugly, and the weird addition of a nosebleed during THAT scene. The only thing I can think of that I like are the costumes and Anya’s performance.

Hated the first half of it and stopped watching but resumed this morning and liked the other half much better. Haven't seen other versions or read the book though so I can't compare.

They say that: When the devil has nothing to do, he kills flies with his tail, because since Emma has nothing better to do, she acts as a matchmaker. Good atmosphere and sets, the actors well, I liked it, but I see it not very fluid

My least favorite Emma adaptation. They shot for too much humor and missed out on the heart that makes Emma an enjoyable story. Mr. Knightley was neither old nor steady enough. The audience were sometimes treated like we’re stupid (Miss Bates being visibly upset vs. Miss Bates trying to hide her hurt feelings under a layer of mocking herself more; no fault of Miranda Hart’s, whom I always enjoy) and sometimes things were so glossed over that we needed to be mind readers or just familiar with the story. Meh. I had higher hopes for this movie, but was disappointed.

I like it. I never liked period movies, most specially romance period movies but this one, I definitely enjoyed. I think because of the humor, the set and the costumes. One thing I didn't like was the names of so many characters though, I mix them all up..Mrs. who? mr what? lol. I never read the book so I do feel like I'm missing most of the story. Judging from the comments here, it seems like this movie is a light-hearted adaptation of Emma. I'm glad that it isn't heavy drama cause I will probably will never finish this movie.

These types of stories don't mean much to me, but the boredom i felt was balanced well enough by the occasional humour and the gorgeous set and costume design.

I wasn’t really planning on watching this. For some reason, I felt like the main actress was too much for me and I had no intention of watching it but surprisingly enough I fell in love with her and her acting by the end of the movie. I’m not saying it’s the best movie out there but it was quite enjoyable and I liked the main actresses character for I felt like she had some character development and growth which I enjoyed. I also liked Mr. Knightley’s character which I didn’t really expect.

I liked the Gwyneth Paltrow version way better.
