Jane Austen’s beloved comedy about finding your equal and earning your happy ending is reimagined. Handsome, clever, and rich, Emma Woodhouse is a restless queen bee without rivals in her sleepy little town. In this glittering satire of social class and the pain of growing up, Emma must adventure through misguided matches and romantic missteps to find the love that has been there all along. (Synopsis from Focus Features)
Emma (Anya Taylor-Joy) takes the unsophisticated Harriet Smith (Mia Goth) under her wing to help her find a suitable husband. Emma fancies herself an expert in romance, which leads to disagreements with her sister’s brother-in-law, Mr. Knightley (Johnny Flynn). While Emma tries to match Harriet with various young gentlemen, romantic situations abound, resulting in a startling revelation.
