is a 2020 period romantic comedy film directed by Autumn de Wilde, from a screenplay by Eleanor Catton, based on Jane Austen's 1815 novel of the same name.

The film also stars Johnny Flynn, Josh O'Connor, Callum Turner, Mia Goth, Miranda Hart, and Bill Nighy.

In Regency-era England, the wealthy and beautiful twenty one year old Emma Woodhouse lives with her father at his Hartfield estate in the Surrey town of Highbury, and is often visited by Mr Knightley, a local landowner who is the brother of her sister, Isabella's, husband.

Emma believes that Mr Elton, the local vicar, is in love with Harriet and encourages her to transfer her hopes to him, despite Mr. Knightley's warning that she should not involve herself in the situation.

After everyone leaves dinner with the Westons early, Emma finds herself alone in a carriage with Mr Elton, who then proposes marriage to her solely for her wealth.

Two much-talked-about relations of Highbury residents appear: Jane Fairfax, the niece of Miss Bates, and Frank Churchill, Mr Weston's son from his first marriage.

Frank's arrival prompts the Westons to hold a ball, where Mr Elton embarrasses Harriet by pointedly refusing to dance with her.

Though Emma leaves before Mr Knightley can speak to her, he runs to her home only for their meeting to be interrupted by Frank, who has rescued Harriet after she is set upon by traveller children.

On a picnic with their social acquaintances at Box Hill, Frank urges them to play a game to amuse Emma, who unthinkingly insults Miss Bates, leading the party to disband.

Harriet tells Emma that she has accepted Mr Martin's renewed offer of marriage, and that her father has revealed his identity now that she is of age; he is not a gentleman, but a tradesman who makes galoshes.

[13] In the film, Jane Fairfax (played by Amber Anderson) outshines Emma by performing the third movement from Mozart's Piano Sonata No 12 on the fortepiano.

Taylor-Joy took pains to explain that her performance of The Last Rose of Summer used an affected style that she imagined Emma Woodhouse would use to charm her audience.

[18] It was released digitally in March 2020 in the United States, Canada and the UK through Premium VOD on streaming platforms, due to movie theatre closures during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The website's critics consensus reads: "Other adaptations may do a better job of consistently capturing the spirit of the classic source material, but Jane Austen fans should still find a solid match in this Emma.

[23] In a mostly favorable review written for Variety, Andrew Barker referred to the film as a "an entirely worthy companion" to other adaptations of the novel, though noted it was "hardly a definitive take".
