synopsis

Douglas McGrath's film is an elegant and entertaining adaptation of Jane Austen's 1816 novel about Emma (Gwyneth Paltrow), a well-to-do young woman whose kindhearted attempts at matchmaking mask her own lack of romantic attachment. She takes it upon herself to find the perfect man for her friend Harriet (Toni Collette). But what appears to be a simple task becomes much more complicated, as Emma's machinations set off a chain reaction of misunderstandings between a number of people. Paltrow's charming performance is supported by an excellent cast, including Ewan McGregor, Jeremy Northam, Alan Cumming, and Greta Scacchi.
