Emma (2020) is a stylish Austen adaptation about a witty, self-deceived matchmaker who meddles in others' romances while learning humility. Anya Taylor-Joy shines as Emma, blending sharp wit with surprising vulnerability, in lush Georgian settings and bright costumes. Autumn de Wilde directs with modern energy, balancing humor, romance, and social satire. Johnny Flynn is Mr. Knightley and Bill Nighy brings warmth as Mr. Woodhouse, with Mia Goth in a pivotal supporting role. The result is a witty, opulent reimagining of a beloved classic.
