Trailer Synopsis Cast

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.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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.

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.

I have seen this film twice so far and hope to see it again as soon as the opportunity arises. It's a very intelligent film with lots of clues and secrets hidden within it. It's the kind of film you want, and need to watch a number of times before you can start piecing the threads together. The director, Suki Singh, is heavily influenced by David Lynch, whose work I also enjoy. The lighting, setting and locations all add to the dark, menacing ambiance of the film. The lead actor, Sam Heughan,(Soon to star as the lead in Starz Outlander series) gave an intense, yet balanced performance, as a man trying to solve the mystery of his wife's disappearance. The climax of the film will leave you with as many questions as answers. Highly recommended.

I had the opportunity to see this film recently with some friends. I have become a fan of Sam Heughan, who plays Ronny Maze and I am honest to say this is the reason I went to see the film. Emulsion is a beautifully written story about a man who is dedicated in looking for his wife and will not give up until he finds her. A dark, mysterious plot, full of twists and turns. As soon as I thought I had hold of the story, something else happened to change my mind. I was drawn towards all the characters and really felt Ronny Maze plight. Was there a happy ending?. Well you will have to go and see it to find out for yourself. You will not be disappointed. I will be looking out for future films from Mr Suki Singh.
