We loved this movie! The actors do a great job balancing the sensibility of the 1800's society with humor over its absurdity. High marks to the director and screenwriter for capturing Emma's author, Jane Austen, so beautifully. As much as we enjoyed character portrayals, we equally loved the scene design, costumes, location settings and staging. There are numerous scenes that show subtle touches of romances blossoming, especially a dance sequence at a ball held for visiting son Franklin Churchill. And overall, there is the fun the audience gets from watching an abundance of communication miscues and their consequences. Last, but not least, Emma actress and several other characters had very large eyes which we get to see express so much suppressed emotion that reflect the times.
