Emulsion

I was lucky enough to attend a screening of Emulsion a few weeks back. The film is that rarest of things: an intelligent, well made British low budget independent film.

I was very impressed with Suki Singh's slick and stylish direction - the film looks gorgeous. The story twists and turns and keeps you hooked until the very end. It reminded me of David Lynch's work in many aspects - a deep undercurrent of an unsettling mood runs throughout the film, and there are several scenes which stayed with me for several days after wards.

Great acting, great storytelling. A film well worth checking out from a filmmaker worth keeping an eye out for.

Achingly beautiful the movie, in addition to being visually arresting, is a very satisfying puzzle. Sam Heughan is perfectly cast as the bereft husband desperately seeking his missing wife. A gorgeous example of Film Noir Suki Singh's Emulsion brings to mind both David Lynch and Raymond Chandler.

The movie succeeds on the finely honed emotional depth of Sam Heughan's acting skills and the heartbreaking appeal of his nearly classical physical beauty. The supporting cast turn in very creditable performances as the puzzle evolves.

Finally, I can't say enough about the cinematography; Suki Singh has created a perfectly measured dreamlike treat for the senses. If this was a book, it would be a page turner.

I had the opportunity to see this film recently with some friends. I have become a fan of Sam Heughan, who plays Ronny Maze and I am honest to say this is the reason I went to see the film. Emulsion is a beautifully written story about a man who is dedicated in looking for his wife and will not give up until he finds her. A dark, mysterious plot, full of twists and turns. As soon as I thought I had hold of the story, something else happened to change my mind. I was drawn towards all the characters and really felt Ronny Maze plight. Was there a happy ending?. Well you will have to go and see it to find out for yourself. You will not be disappointed. I will be looking out for future films from Mr Suki Singh.

Absolutely stunning film written & directed by a brilliant man. Emulsions is so beautifully filmed that you leave realizing that you've finally watched a movie worthy of seeing again. I for one found the story line original & the cinematography gorgeous. If you're like me & tired of paying good money to watch another remake of an 80's/90's movie then make a point of taking yourself to see this movie. I went in to this film not knowing what to expect, my only knowledge of it being what was written on IMDb. I was both in-thralled and mesmerized by the film & captivated by the lead Sam Heughan. I would happily pay to see it again & hope that one day it will be available on DVD. Suki Singh is a genius :)

I like movies that make me think, movies that keep me guessing and movies that keep me talking and thinking about it for days. Emulsion did it all. Sam Heughan did an amazing job as Ronnie Maze and deftly carried the film from beginning to end. The reason I gave it 8 out of 10 was because the same, unfortunately, couldn't be said for some of the supporting cast. Maybe it was just the strength of Heughan's acting that made the others feel weak by comparison...IDK. Maybe they were just weak. Another review elsewhere mentioned the editing being choppy but I never saw this as an issue but rather lending itself to the edginess of the film. The plot was extremely unique and full of twists and turns that reminded me of some of the Hitchcock films I've seen. It's not quite a psychological thriller, not quite a mystery, not quite a love story but more than a drama. Well done and definitely worth the price of a ticket!
