A delicious film

A treat to watch! Emma, beautifully played by Gwyneth Paltrow, at her most meddlesome and provocative. Jeremy Northam's thoughtful presentation of Mr Knightley is sympathetic and charming; an excellent foil to Emma's inability to see what's right in front of her. And who could forget Miss Bates,laugh at her, and weep for her too.

Every actor fits their role so well, except except perhaps Ewan McGragor, as Frank Churchill who seemed out of synch with the others, lumbering his way through Emma's little world.

An adaptation of Emma that some might find a little 'frothy' but I do think that the English Lit. purists would be better sticking to the novel(s) not the film adaptation(s) - they are always different.

The whole film is a delight; one of my all time favourites. Not to be missed - unless you're an Austen devotee when I doubt anything would suit!
