Critics Consensus

Other adaptations may do a better job of consistently capturing the spirit of the classic source material, but Jane Austen fans should still find a solid match in this Emma.

Very witty and well-acted... Emma has been adapted a number of times, but this has enough intelligence in its adaptation to stand out from the crowd.

Rated: 4/5

If anyone were to push Emma Woodhouse into a less straitened age, why not the woman who captured Childish Gambino in a palm-tree polyblend?

While the story's sturdy, familiar structure remains resonant, this version never feels particularly inspired or revelatory, despite some lovely moments scattered throughout.

Emma is the kind of film that will take its audience through a range of emotions. You will laugh and some may cry but everyone will leave the cinema knowing they have watched a delightfully entertaining film.

Rated: 3.5/5

Some may find the film’s pacing rather slow, and those who aren’t fans of period dramas may struggle to connect to the film. However, there’s no denying the fact that Emma is one of the most visually impressive films to come along in a long while.

Rated: B+

Vague Visages

Sumptuously designed, elegantly appointed and spectacularly costumed and coiffed, de Wilde’s fresh rendition has a piquant flavor complemented as much by self-aware sexiness as the abundant pastel hues on display.

I like the cinematography. I like viewing Emma and comparing to the other adaptations. I think that I like Gweneth Paltrow’s version better, but this was a good and delightful one.
