Not usually a fan of this genre however the twists and turns that lead the viewer to the story's resolution makes this a satisfying experience. The plot keeps you guessing as you are caught up in Ronny Maze's distress played so deftly by Sam Heughan. This is one of those films that is worth watching again and again because there is always a hint or a clue or a well-placed prop still to be discovered. Visually it is subtle enough to convey the sense of alternate reality with the pops of color reminding you that something is afoot. A challenging and interesting journey for the viewer with excellent acting of a full range of emotions by Sam with a no-frills production that delivers. Still thinking about the aftermath of Ronny's experience and whether anyone actor can walk away untouched by the parts that he/she plays.

My wife and I watched this movie last night. Correction, we watched less than half of it and then turned it off. It was slow paced, tawdry and mostly uninteresting. We are big fans of Jamie Fraser but this film in no way shows off Heughan's acting skills. Early on it looked like his face had too much makeup including eye liner, eye shadow and lipstick and that ridiculous fedora he wore which was way too small for the size of his head was like a pimple on an elephant's ass. All together a mostly forgettable film.

Emulsion, a psychological thriller, premiered in Inverness on Friday the 24th of January and a host of Outlander fans were there to support the film's writer/director, Suki Singh and star Sam Heughan. Quirky, intense and surreal are words that seem to fall short of describing the film that follows Ronny Maze on his quest to find his missing wife, Isabella after she mysteriously disappears from a multi story car park. Mr Singh proves himself as the master of smouldering suspense, keeping viewers guessing by raising more questions than he answers until the last few minutes of the film. Emulsion is Suki Singh's first feature length project, proving that you don't have to spend millions to make a great film! I Highly recommended it!

My wife and I both love Sam Heughan, but this movie is a monumental waste of his talent. A bad example of the "long empty tense pauses mean something" school of film making. You -want- to be intrigued by all the "what the heck is going on" moments, but they are more and more stultifying. It takes a long, long time to get to the reveal and by then who cares about this mope? Or the last twisteroonie? And if you set most of your movie in a dead parking garage you have a pretty dead movie. Watch reruns of Outlander for your Sam fix.

I was able to watch Emulsion during a short stay in the US. Having read some enthusiastic comments, I was intrigued about this British independent film that's being screened in small theaters all along the US. It was also a chance to see main actor's - Sam Heughan - performance, prior to the premiere of Outlander. I was ready to be surprised by the film, but in fact had to admit to myself that I hadn't been quite ready to be engaged by its' powerful storytelling as I indeed ended. Therefore, from an initial aloof intrigue,I found myself more and more immersed in the story, sharing Ronnie's anguished and sometimes hopeless quest for an answer about his beloved's wife without a trace disappearance. Sam Heughan does an excellent job in portraying his tortured character, making you feel growing sympathy for Ronnie, while you keep asking yourself about what's actually happening and who - if any - is to be trusted. When the surprising end arrived, I simply wanted to go back and watch it again. So I do hope that this film is released in DVD and that I can see more of director Suki Singh's work in the future.

An intriguing and beautifully shot low budget film by director Suki Singh. Having seen this movie twice I can still say that the mystery of the character Ronny Maze and what happened to his wife Isabella kept me engaged throughout. The lead Sam Heughan does an excellent job at conveying the tortured emotions of Ronny searching for his wife. The lingering shots and choice of music fits perfectly with the dark, brooding intensity of the film. It has a satisfying ending but retains enough mystery that you will still be asking questions afterward. Interesting characters and a clever plot makes this a must see British film.

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.
