I like movies that make me think, movies that keep me guessing and movies that keep me talking and thinking about it for days. Emulsion did it all. Sam Heughan did an amazing job as Ronnie Maze and deftly carried the film from beginning to end. The reason I gave it 8 out of 10 was because the same, unfortunately, couldn't be said for some of the supporting cast. Maybe it was just the strength of Heughan's acting that made the others feel weak by comparison...IDK. Maybe they were just weak. Another review elsewhere mentioned the editing being choppy but I never saw this as an issue but rather lending itself to the edginess of the film. The plot was extremely unique and full of twists and turns that reminded me of some of the Hitchcock films I've seen. It's not quite a psychological thriller, not quite a mystery, not quite a love story but more than a drama. Well done and definitely worth the price of a ticket!

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.

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.

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!
