DIRECTOR'S CUT: Relationship Therapist Reacts to EMMA (Patreon)

How do you make amends for past mistakes? Have you ever played matchmaker?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are watching Emma and it’s a fight! Emma, who thinks she knows everything about relationships vs. Jonathan, an actual professional who knows way more about relationships. Who will win? They discuss Emma’s matchmaking, selfish motives, and how her own insecurities affect her relationships. Jonathan distinguishes between wanting to help people and Emma’s amusement at playing with people’s lives. He praises Jane Austen’s ability to observe and understand human psychology, and Alan compares her to Aaron Sorkin - no one talked like that! They pay tribute to the incredible performances from the whole cast, especially Anya Taylor-Joy, and Alan fanboys about the film's staging and blocking. He’s an Autumn de Wilde fanboy.
