Emma
by Jane Austen
4 1/2 Stars
This is an adaptation, and I’m not entirely sure what all it edits. Since there’s a full cast, it definitely cuts out tags like “she said.” It’s been several years since I last read the novel, so I didn’t notice many other differences.
The cast is wonderful, which is no surprise because Emma Thompson is the narrator. Personally, I like the background noises, like people walking and babies crying. This adaptation is closer to radio theater.
Emma is probably tied with Pride and Prejudice as my favorite Jane Austen novel. (The only thing I struggle with is Emma and Harriet’s friendship towards the end.)
If you’re okay with some edits and background noises, you’ll love this adaptation!
