      John Preston Daily Telegraph (UK) [Romola] Garai was particularly good at capturing Emma's infuriating insularity, her smug belief in her own judgement - an ecstatic little quiver would pass through her as she brought off another successful pairing. Nov 21, 2019 Full Review Sam Wollaston Guardian Romola Garai is a lively and enthusiastic Emma. Nov 21, 2019 Full Review Tom Sutcliffe Independent (UK) Romola Garai doesn't capture the sense of frustrated intelligence that makes Emma bearable on the page. Nov 21, 2019 Full Review Kat Halstead Common Sense Media Period dramas can get a bad reputation as a bit of an endurance test, but these four episodes fly by, light and whimsical, and full of humor to boot. Rated: 4/5 May 18, 2021 Full Review Renie Scolaro Mora PopMatters Its to this version's credit that the social critique in [Jane] Austen's novel is neither trivialized nor tweaked to seem sympathetic for a modern audience. Austen fans will be happy. Rated: 6/10 Nov 21, 2019 Full Review Emily S. Mendel culturevulture.net The performances here are outstanding, especially those of Romola Garai, Michael Gambon and Jonny Lee Miller. Nov 21, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
