Greta Gerwig's, "Little Women."
Nighy I thought brilliant as Mr. Woodhouse: it's meant to be a small role, but he makes it meaningful; he managed economically to show true affection for Emma (a real challenge, obviously, for most). I desperately wanted more screen time for him, but that's what you get!
The film rises and falls, of course, in the attraction between Knightley (was he ever called George?) and Emma. I thought the chemistry was powerful and believable. Knightley is a new star, I'd say, though he's mid-thirties in age. He's a musician, not an actor, heretofore. That should change.
