Movie Reviews of Emma
Movie Review: Funny, as it was meant to be
Summary: 5 Stars
I read "Emma" after learning it was one of the favorite books of two of my favorite authors (Susanna Clark and J.K. Rowling). I chuckled out loud at least every other page at the charming, whimsical story which has since become one of my own favorites.
This version of the movie is just as charming, whimsical, and funny as the book. Don't listen to people who think Jane Austen stories are supposed to be all serious and austere like the Kate Beckinsale version. This movie is truer to the spirit of the book than any other adaptation I've seen of any Jane Austen book.
Movie Review: Loved It!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely loved this movie Emma. It is the movie that started me off on my love for period piece costume movies and also inspired me to read the book by Jane Austen. Gwynneth Paltrow is very pretty and also a great actress and I thought that her imiatation British accent was good and that she platyed Emma Wodehouse perfectly. I also thought Toni Collette was a good Harriet and I also liked Jeremy Northram, Ewen MacGregor and Alan Cumming. Note to previous reviewer Judy: How were you able to see The Kiera Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice when it hasn't been release yet?Movie Review: Classic Love Story for the Ages
Summary: 5 Stars
Austen's mastery of the art of love is never better portrayed than in her novel, 'Emma.' A story with undeniably loveable characters, a charming plot, and beautiful imagery, it is truly a classic in every sense of the word. This movie tells that calssic story in grand style. Gwyneth Paltrow is stunning (giving hints of the glory she would achieve in Shakespeare in Love), and the costuming and scenery bring you oh so close to the England Jane Austen knew. A beautiful movie telling a timeless tale--a perfect example of the staying power of a classic.Movie Review: Classic Love Story for the Ages

Summary: 5 Stars
Our society has lost a great deal, with its sex revolutions, and easy, or nonexistent manners. Wrap yourself, for a brief respite, in a genteel society. Experience the romantic allurement of beautiful clothing. Watch the graceful, dignified dances and parties where courtship had a chance to grow slowly, and perhaps more solidly. Follow Emma's match-making mistakes and failures, when she doesn't know her own mind. I yearned for more of Jeremy Northam, and especially his dancing. This man is beautiful to see. As well, Ms. Paltrow was always captivating.
