there are so many reasons why I& #39;m repulsed by the new Emma but one big reason is that Mia Goth plays Harriet like a straight up serial killer
honestly, Anya Taylor Joy also plays Emma with such cold blood that it& #39;s terrifying and I miss Romola Garai
Miranda Hart is well-cast, but her "SUCH news!" just makes me miss Patricia Hodge. I assume she couldn& #39;t make it because nothing about this movie is such fun
so far this movie has two things going for it:
⢠pretty scenery
⢠Autumn de Wilde is a cool name
⢠pretty scenery

the least they could& #39;ve done was hire just one (1) hot person and yet they still couldn& #39;t clear that low bar
I was forced to watch a naked Mr. Knightley get dressed by servants and yet they couldn& #39;t drag a brush through his hair? trim the sideburns? what& #39;s the point of being rich
I hate everything about this film
give me the sets and locations to make a better movie about literally anything else
Emma is bi, it took far too long for them to realise this
there& #39;s a cake made of asparagus and I want it
it& #39;s really quite a feat, that the only interesting characters in this version are silent servants.
how is even Bill Nighy useless?
I do love a good "badly done" scene though
I would give anything for one of these stylised period films that& #39;s just the servants& #39; commentary on their absurd aristocrat employers, they& #39;re really doing the heavy lifting here with seriously subtle physical comedy
this soundtrack makes me feel like I& #39;m in a cult
oh so they waited til the very end to put in a good scene??? wow
I don& #39;t like this Knightley but I can appreciate a man who flings himself onto the floor because Emotions
he& #39;s always been my favourite Austen man because of his kindness to Mr. Woodhouse and how he was so willing to just move in with them. it& #39;s how I feel about men taking their wives& #39; names
the one improvement here, over the miniseries, is Emma apologising to George herself, and how she doesn& #39;t just drop Harriet once she gets engaged. that& #39;s sweet.
George Martin is the real MVP of this story. also the only decent looking man in the entire movie wtf
