Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
After more than a century and a half, Emma Bovary is a classic ball of decidedly human confusion that just keeps on giving.

rotten:
The Normandy locations are evocative, but director Sophie Barthes compresses Emma's multiyear rise and fall into what seems like a month or so.

fresh:
For all the talk of romance, this is a Madame Bovary that's grounded in the real - in the sounds and colors of Emma's world, in its material limitations and splendors.

fresh:
This umpteenth adaptation of Flaubert's classic novel at least chooses its Emma wisely ...

rotten:
With her thousand-mile frown, Mia Wasikowska was born to play Victorian heroines, though she's a little too intelligent and self-aware for Flaubert's Emma Bovary.
