Fantastic!

"I was never a big fan of Emma prior to seeing this film. Although this is a long adaptation, it is very well done. It explores the characters and their growth like the book does. Instead of there being an instant change of heart in Emma, you are able to see and understand how she comes to it. I love the chemistry between Knightly and Emma and how it is captured on film. Out of all the BBC remakes of Jane Austen, the actors cast are the closest to how I see them in my mind. I enjoy this film and am glad that it is part of my Austen collection rather than a previous version."
Best Version I Have Seen

"This version of Emma is by far the best! Romola Garai is a breath of fresh air. It's not sleepy like Gwyneth Paltrow's (not to mention having to deal with her horrible fake accent), or lacking chemistry and leaving you wanting more like Kate Beckinsale's. Johnny Lee Miller plays a fantastic Mr. Knightley as well. I love Jane Austen, and this is definitely one of my favorite adaptations thus far."
