Jane Austen’s beloved comedy about finding your equal and earning your happy ending, is reimagined in this delicious  film adaptation. Handsome, clever, and rich, Emma Woodhouse is a restless queen bee without rivals in her sleepy little town. In this glittering satire of social class and the pain of growing up, Emma must adventure through misguided matches and romantic missteps to find the love that has been there all along.

Emma. pulls off a wonderful oxymoron: It’s a substantial confection. I delighted in nearly every minute of it. – Baltimore Magazine

All this adds up to a movie filled with that simple yet rare thing: pure pleasure. This film is both a loving homage to Austen and a celebration of fashion and decorative arts. – Seattle Times
