Emma.
In 1800s England, a well-meaning but selfish young woman meddles in the love lives of her friends.
Critics Sentiment
The Coles host a party featuring piano performances
Emma insults Miss Bates at the Box Hill picnic
The film drops significantly from the praised Coles' party sequence to Emma's cruel behavior and the Box Hill incident, representing a 2.5 point decline.
Critics were divided on this visually sumptuous adaptation, with universal praise for the costumes, production design, and Miranda Hart's performance as Miss Bates. However, many felt Emma's character was too unsympathetic and lacked the charm necessary for audience connection. The film recovered in its final act with stronger romantic development between Emma and Knightley.
