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 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 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.

Emulsion is a must see again film. I have seen it twice and would happily see it again. Suki Singh's low budget film is full of story twists and turns, the locations of filming all add to the unsettling atmosphere. In your mind there are lots of questions forming as the story progresses. Sam Heughan totally becomes 'Ronny' - the emotions and frustrations of the storyline are all so convincing and believable. I saw it in a cinema with a lot of people, we were all spellbound total silence, not a whisper was heard! This film deserves to be seen by a wider audience.
Suki Singh deserves greater recognition of his talent.

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.
