The film is styled Emma. that is, with a fullstop, as the director Autumn de Wilde explained in an interview with the Radio Times, “There’s a period at the end of Emma because it’s a period film,” she said. “It’s true! Jamie Stuart ( talk) 14:43, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
Since this film is stylized with a period at the end as "Emma.", I would like to come to a consensus about whether or not to use "Emma" or "Emma." (in italics) in article text. I would argue that to use the title with the period throughout the article, at the start or in the middle of a sentence, looks jarring. It's different from Airplane! because we can tell that that the whole title is italicized, including the punctuation mark. We don't have that tell with the period here. There is not a compelling need to repeatedly include the period especially when Emma by itself suffices to connect readers to that particular element (among other elements in the text). What do other editors think? Erik ( talk | contrib) ( ping me) 16:29, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
I apologise for causing you unnecessary work,
Nardog; it never occurred to me to read the present talk page before adding the full stop/period in the article title, which was obviously intended by the producers. Thank you for reverting my earlier move, as I was unaware of the prior discussion here. For what it’s worth, I would agree with
Jamie Stuart and
Betty Logan, for the reasons they provided, and I would still align the article title with the film’s punctuated title, per
MOS:AT: The final character should not be punctuation unless it is part of a name (Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), or ...

Has no film critic made note of the apparent age of Knightly in this film? Instead of the older, wiser man guiding Emma Woodhouse's life, he seems barely older than she. Other versions give him that wiser gravitas, why not this one? It seems glaring to me. Thank you for your time, Wordreader ( talk) 13:17, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
One of the things this film is noted for is the costuming. The beauty of the clothing and hats, especially wealthy Emma Woodhouse's wardrobe, and its accuracy to the period, right down to the fact that Emma wore no underpants (as revealed in the dressing scene where she stands in from of the fireplace to warm her bare bumper). After all, Alexandra Byrne was nominated for Best Costume Design for this film a number of times, including the Academy Awards and BAFTA. (Ms Byrne won the Chicago Film Critics Association award.) The best this article does mentioning costuming is a portion of two sentences. In the Emma (1996 theatrical film) article (the Paltrow version) has a whole section devoted to costuming with a photo of Emma's wedding dress.
