I've seen dozens of costume dramas and liked or loved all of them, except for Emma. It feels as if all the actors did their performances separately and then were CGIed together.

Thanks very much for this cautionary remark. I was unwilling to cough up $20 for this latest incarnation of EMMA, even though I love the novel, because, despite generally favorable reviews, and Bill Nighy, it somehow caused my spider sense to tingle. And not in a good way.

Yeah, always try to find the British mini series, though I haven't yet seen this one myself. It unfortunately lies in a computer that is trying to give up on the world. The 1995 Pride and Prejudice was quite good.

The BBC's 2009 EMMA is the one to go with, all right. It's impeccable. The alabaster perfection of Romola Garai's exquisite pre-Raphaelite beauty is simply overwhelming, and her big scene at the end, with Johnny Lee Miller's Mr Knightley, actually improves on Austen.
