Emulsion

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.

Not great at writing these kinds of things - but here goes! Have recently discovered Sam Heughan, and as soon as I heard about this film I wanted to see it. Had to wait a while for the opportunity, and finally got to see it at the Rich Mix in London. Didn't really know what to expect, but from the moment it starts I was hooked. I don't want to give anything away about the storyline, but it keeps you guessing all through the film. Just when I started to think I knew what was going on, something happened to change my mind - it was amazing. Keeps you guessing right until the end of the film, keeps your full attention. The cast all do an amazing job, but Mr Heughan just owns the screen all the time he is on it. Such a fantastic performance. The film is beautifully filmed, visually quite stunning. I would love to see this film again as I'm sure on a second viewing there would be a lot more to be noticed. Would love this film to come out on DVD - but in the meantime will keep my eyes open for another viewing I would be able to attend. As Mr Heughan's fanbase increases (as it surely will next year!) there will be a lot of people wanting to see this film, which I will heartily recommend. Well done all concerned and thank you.

I love British mystery movies bit this one just wasn't up to snuff.

First the acting. Having seen Heughan in other venues, this month vie did nothing to challenge his talented acting skills. He seemed a little bland most of the time. At first I thought it was the bbc.co part he was , playing but even the emotional seems lacked depth. The supporting cast was on about the same level.

Second, the plot. The movie had a lot of twist and turns that left you asking more questions. Never did figure out how the guy in the restaurant figured in to the story. At first you think it's some kind of spy movie only to find out it's not.

Third, the soundtrack. The music didn't really seem to fit in with the movie at all.

I would give it two stars and that's being generous.

I very recently watched this film & was really intrigued by the storyline. When I first heard about this film, I brushed it off, thinking it was going to be like another version of the movie "Wicker Park": a man frantically & nearly obsessively searching for the missing woman whom he's desperately in love with. How wrong I was.

This film contains a well-balanced mixture of suspense, drama, raw innocence, & dark grit. The storyline gripped me all the way until the very end, with plenty of plot twists & that just- when-you-think-you've-figured-it-out edginess. Actor Sam Heughan really steals the spotlight with his incredible portrayal of a vulnerable man on the brink of self-destruction & just barely holding onto his last shreds of composure, all while trying to solve the bizarre & mysterious disappearance of the woman he loves.

I must admit the storyline starts off a little too slow in the beginning, but gradually the story picks up its pace & really captivates your attention till the very end. It's like a cat & mouse game, trying to gather clues, which become pieces to an elaborate puzzle. This film offers a good dose of secrets, espionage, chases, raw emotions, & action.

To sum up this film in one sentence: IT'S THE CLOTHES THAT MAKE THE MAN.

I really enjoyed Emulsion.

The film is edited wonderfully so that the plot gradually develops keeping the audience guessing about the circumstances of Isabella's disappearance and Ronny's frame of mind. There are a couple scenes which play out of sequence or are repeated as an extended scene which add to the richness of the story telling.

The fact that Ronny is a bit 'lost' in his own world, looks like he has traveled from the 1940/50s and has a strict routine including spending most of his time in an eerily empty concrete car park, adds to the mystery and makes for an intriguing character

The brilliantly acted characters will keep you guessing and interested, the beautifully shot scenes will keep you engaged.

This is British independent film at its best! Don't go expecting a fast paced action thriller, but go and immerse yourself in the world of Emulsion and enjoy the beauty of it.

Looking forward to seeing what Suki Singh comes up with next.
