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.

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 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.

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.

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.
