Mature themes in Emma.

Autumn de Wilde's debut uses formalist visual beauty — symmetrical compositions, vivid colour — to emphasise Austen's satirical artifice. Anya Taylor-Joy's Emma is sharper and more brittle than Paltrow's. The film's Mr. Knightley is one of Austen cinema's most attractive portrayals.
