"Emma" Tonight!
The new Emma is finally on PBS tonight, yay! I can't wait--I love Romola Garai. Has anyone seen this yet? What did you think? (See the NY Times review here)
I can't wait for either. From the previews, the costumes look awesome. And I like Romola Garai too. She was wonderful as Gwendolen Harleth in Daniel Daronda. Not to sure about Jonny Lee Miller. I disliked him as Byron and as Edmund in Mansfield Park.
He seems a bit young for Mr. Knightley, too, without the needed sense of authority. But I've been wrong about casting before! Hopefully it will be fine :)

Umm saw it when it was on in the UK and was not impressed. Neither was my daughter. It is not the best adaptation of Emma by a long shot.
