Writing about the movie "Emma" which is based on the book of the beloved Jane Austen is easy thought I write now about the version with Gwyneth Paltrow and Alan Cumming etc.
An old classic book and romantic movie it is for sure. This version also tries to be bound to the book as much as it is possible but in my eyes it did not went out that good as I thought it would be. After all the lovely critics I must confess this is a nice movie, but that's all. The acting is funny, entertaining and lovely. Only Paltrow seem to be the weakest part of the movie. She should be the star in the movie, the light, the story but seems to vanish behind all the other characters and it seems that she was not spending much time thinking about her figure she plays and so is the way of cutting this movie a bit unnerving in a unhappy way.
There are Jane Austen movies who are worse but I had hoped for more. More feelings transporting to us, fun and a bit smarter way of telling the story. And the coloring of the movie self is a bit to much different. They should have put some more time for that, because it feels sometimes as this movie is made for TV not for cinemas.
But at the end it is a nice and romantic movie, quite right for the afternoon, tea and cake and having friends around you talking, chit chatting and laughing.
LOVE & LIGHT
