Emulsion Trailers

EMULSION tells the story of a dejected salesman who is inadvertently drawn into a dangerous blackmail scheme that forces him to fight for control a life he never thought was worth living. Painting a murky film noir world where no one is exactly as they appear, Emulsion follows Dane Allen as he evolves from an utterly forgettable cog into a potent activist who brings the powers that be to their knees. It is a story of discovery, manipulation and the never-ending struggle between complacency and self-actualization.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
apb-22349 Something is very unsettling in Ronny Maze's world. We follow him as he tries to unravel the mystery - and no more plot points can be given because you deserve to see the entire story unfold yourself. This award-winning indie film is a must for anyone who loves unusual Lynchian mysteries. Everything moves very deliberately and with an exquisitely rendered tension. The haunting score is the perfect backdrop to the mystery. Sam Heughan's performance as Ronny is mesmerizing, and he is filmed here beautifully, each line of his chiseled face registering tension and softness at once. David Ajala is wonderful as a restaurant owner who befriends Ronny. Emulsion is the kind of movie that makes indie cinema so rich and rewarding. It will haunt you for a long time. And as in all my favorite movies, you will definitely need to watch it twice and see what you missed (or didn't realize you missed) the first time around. I got my DVD copy at http://www.emulsion.TV/
cmhattersley Having seen Emulsion at Eden Court, Inverness, I was impressed by the quality of the writing, brilliant story lines, the acting, superbly paced and smouldering, and the cinematography bringing subtle contrasts to a rather dark story. Even a concrete multistory car park in Bournemouth played its dark role wonderfully. If you get the chance to see Emulsion take it, don't be put off by it's low budget status, the rich talent on display (and behind the scenes) makes that category somewhat meaningless. There was a question and answer session after the screening with director Suki Singh, and Lead actor Sam Hueghan which concluded a fantastic night. I do hope Suki and Sam have the chance to work together in the future as they make a great team.
Kirstie McDonald 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 characterThe 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.
mark jeavons 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.
