 Great Series - Not many Special Features Mar 11, 2010
Love this version of Emma - I think Romola Garai is great in the title role and all her male counterparts are quite easy on the eyes! Plus, the costumes and setting are sumptuous!
I will say that this DVD does not come with many special features, but this is a great price for it nonetheless.
Emma Mar 10, 2010
I very much enjoyed this excellent version of Emma. The actors, the setting and the music were outstanding.

Beautifully crafted version of "Emma" Mar 08, 2010
The most recent BBC adaptations of Jane Autsen's novels have been a bit of hit and miss (very disappointed with the latest "Persuasion"), so I was very pleased to find the new "Emma" a complete hit. From the casting to the locations to the costumes to the music, this is a true delight. My husband even loved it! The extras on the DVD are also a plus. I loved the interview with Sir Michael Gambon (Mr. Woodhouse), and found the discussion about the music fascinating.
I was especially pleased with the chemestry between Romola Garai and Jonny Lee Miller as Emma and Mr. Nightly. And Ms. Garai has such an expressive face that she made Emma both a comedic masterpiece and a real person. Michael Gambon seems to be making all the rounds as the elderly British gentleman of choice recently, but I hope that we see more of him. Bravo!

Oh, Miss Wodehouse! Mar 08, 2010
A wonderful adaptation! I watched it three times, and it got better every time. If you can live with the slightly more modern mannerisms, then you should love this adaptation. I have a feeling that Ms. Austen would not have minded the slight liberties taken -- she always seems willing enough to welcome the new, while respecting tradition. What is important for me is that the emotional truth of the novel is maintained, and even enhanced on occasion, if that is possible.
My favorite actor in this Emma is emphatically the beautiful Ms. Garai. She gives a luminous, expressive and enchanting performance. But virtually every actor does a great job, and we are allowed through their performances to see almost all the characters as fully rounded human beings, rather than stereotypes. What a triumph for all concerned! Do yourself a favor, and watch this Emma.
