We watched the newest Emma movie (2020). Although I enjoyed it, my husband and one son liked the 2009 version better that we watched a couple of months ago. Romola Garai who portrayed Emma in the 2009 version was more likable and light-hearted. In this version Emma is snottier and more serious. Also, the 2009 version is four hours long while this one is a little over two hours.
Warning: In the very beginning Mr. Knightly undresses for a bath. The viewers see his naked backside. Totally unnecessary-- don't know why it was included!!
The acting is superb and the scenery is beautiful in this production. However, if I ever rewatch it, I will choose the 2009 version.
