Clueless makes it very clear that Jane Austen's stories, including Emma, are actually a lot funnier than they sometimes get credit for. Autumn de Wilde's 2020 version of Emma, led by breakout star Anya Taylor-Joy, really leans into the absurd humour of it all. This version of Emma is still a slightly unlikeable, blissfully self-assured, and self-absorbed rich girl with a penchant for meddling. Emma's misguided attempts at arranging a romance for her new friend Harriet go hilariously awry, as do Emma's plans to improve herself as a person. It's the same plot you know and love but with a candy-coloured visual palette and keen sense for finding the ridiculous, funny moments.
