Thanks to technology far beyond the imagination of Jane Austen's nineteenth-century characters, the latest adaption of Emma was made available for home viewing barely a month after its theatrical release.

Emma., of course, follows the titular heroine as she plays matchmaker with her friends and family in Georgian-era England - but may well fall prey to Cupid's arrow herself.

The film also has a starry British cast - as well as Anya Taylor-Joy, Bill Nighy and Miranda Hart, the movie also boasts Rupert Graves, The Crown's Josh O'Connor and Sex Education's Tanya Reynolds.

So for anyone looking for some delightful comedy and exquisite period costumes to get through some tough times, Emma. may well be the perfect pick-me-up.
