What to Know

Critics Consensus

Other adaptations may do a better job of consistently capturing the spirit of the classic source material, but Jane Austen fans should still find a solid match in this Emma.

EMMA. (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Victoria Luxford BBC.com Very witty and well-acted... Emma has been adapted a number of times, but this has enough intelligence in its adaptation to stand out from the crowd. Rated: 4/5 Aug 12, 2022 Full Review EMMA. (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly If anyone were to push Emma Woodhouse into a less straitened age, why not the woman who captured Childish Gambino in a palm-tree polyblend? Rated: B+ Feb 14, 2021 Full Review EMMA. (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Tim Grierson Screen International While the story's sturdy, familiar structure remains resonant, this version never feels particularly inspired or revelatory, despite some lovely moments scattered throughout. Feb 14, 2021 Full Review EMMA. (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Bianca Garner InSession Film Some may find the film’s pacing rather slow, and those who aren’t fans of period dramas may struggle to connect to the film. However, there’s no denying the fact that Emma is one of the most visually impressive films to come along in a long while. Rated: B+ Jul 31, 2024 Full Review EMMA. (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Greg Carlson Vague Visages Sumptuously designed, elegantly appointed and spectacularly costumed and coiffed, de Wilde’s fresh rendition has a piquant flavor complemented as much by self-aware sexiness as the abundant pastel hues on display. Sep 22, 2023 Full Review EMMA. (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews Lacks surprising elements, making the existence of this new adaptation a bit questionable. Why make another film if there's nothing unique about it? Predictable from the get-go, confusing first act, and very hard to feel invested before the one-hour mark.
