 Poor casting ruins a decent screenplay February 28, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This Emma follows the book faithfully, which means that there is plenty that could be cut. The main problem is the lead actors. They are much too old to be 21 year old Emma and 36 year old Mr. Knightley. If you want to see an Emma that is light and funny and sweet, like the spirit of the novel, get the 1996 A&E/BBC production starring Kate Beckinsale.

One of Jane Austen's really enjoyable classics. Great for a cozy evenilng in front of fire.

Quite good. Godwin portrayed Emma in a style I thought more in keeping with Austen's character; not beautiful, and very human. Knightley wasn't too old or wooden; his hesitancy in the film conveyed the hesitancy that a man in that type of relationship in that period would feel towards a woman of Emma's age (a hesitancy, perhaps even of today). I thought the costumes and interiors were of the period. The absence of servants was too evident, but that's the way Austen writes -- her characters just glide above the surface of work, not doing it themselves, or hardly supervising it, whether in the fields, the kitchen, or the house -- it's all an abstract domestic sphere. But that the novelist's choice -- to write about what she knows -- and that what this film conveys.
Very Good January 29, 2007

Great Adaptation. I think that in some ways I liked the way Jane Fairfax was played better in this version than the one Gwyneth Paltrow was in. I think that the interfering Mrs Elton was also played very well.
