As 20 years has passed, that scene never gets old.
I had just rewatched that scene and was able to maturely understand the feeling of a heartbroken wife.
Emma wonderfully portraited that scene without a single word spoken, just a pure body language of acting.

Emma Thompson’s scene in the bedroom is a masterclass in acting. ❤️💔

I've seen this movie so many times, and not once have I been able to stay dry-eyed at this heartbreaking scene. The brilliance of Emma Thompson <3

[Geo_Babe]

That scene is a masterclass in filmmaking and in acting. ❤

I watch it every year on Christmas, and every time I cry during this scene. Masterpiece.

One of the greatest actors of our time. She can take me from pealing with laughter to a blob of tears at the flick of a dime. No matter what the movie or what the role she's playing, she pulls me into that movie every time. Love her.

I mean there are no adequate words to describe the magnificence of Emma Thompson.

I’ve watched it 9 times so far. It had absolutely everything. Absolutely. The entire cast was tremendous. Perfect.

What a scene... What an actress.
I wish we had heard from Colin Firth too though, he was in one of my favourite stories from the film.

I watched this film with a friend whose husband had just left her for another woman. I will never forget the feeling I had watching her reality play out next to me. She'd said to me earlier that the one thing that upset her most was that she could not remember the point in her marriage when it became a lie. She may have well written this script. I sob every time I've watched this scene and over the past 20 years, I've watched it a lot.

Beautiful film. Sometimes movies with stories about LOVE are not taken serious. People live to love and to be love. Each history has a iconic scene. But Emma and Joni explosive combination. The lyrics of the song are sublime.

[lisalandry]

My favorite scene of the entire movie, and I watch it every year at Christmas. It’s actually my favorite movie of all time, and Emma Thompson is unbelievably gifted in it!

These interviews are far too short for a film that has meant so much. Even story lines we might not agree with left a lasting impression. There is so much to love for Emma, Hugh, Laura, Liam, Alan, Thomas, Bill, Andrew, Martin, Chiwetel, Kiera, Rodrigo, Gregor, Martine, Rowan, Lucia, and everyone else who made this so memorable.

Brilliant. Thank you for this touching nod to a classic. Thank you Richard Curtis for providing such screen story gems in our lives❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹

I always associate Alan Rickman with the Potter films. To see him in this film brought back such grand memories and a reminder that he had great range as an actor. I miss him.

[RainMakr]

Still a touching film. I distinctly remember going to the premier meeting with most of the cast, and what a film! It's on every Christmas and we love it!

yet, some 20 years later, the same song would be used in one of the most uplifting scene in the film CODA

Emma's character broke my heart in this scene for her performance and how art imitates my life.

I've Always Found Emma to Be the Most Perfect Hybrid of Incredibly Beautiful & Totally Awesome

I think people still love this movie so much. It has been parodied a lot (the card scene with keira knightly gets spoofed all the time on youtube and snl). It gets watched every Christmas by millions like Charlie Brown and the Grinch and a Christmas Miracle movies. Emma Thompson was just so powerful in this movie. The way she handles her heart being broken is devastating. The whole movie was filled with poignancy and intense emotions. It makes your heart broken, it makes you smile, cry, think, be sad, be depressed, be hopeful for the future. It makes you feel so many things. Love Actually also was groundbreaking in that it was the first movie to have so many interwoven characters and it started a trend in cinema. I think the movie is so well loved. The only thing that made me raise my eyebrows was when Richard Curtis said he felt stupid for not having enough diversity. It made me groan inside, like "here we go again with the woke identity politics stuff". I mean racial diversity and having different kinds of skin tones on the actors means so little. This movie was perfect the way it is. It already had plenty of diversity. It had people in all sorts of situations, different classes, home languages, ages, different levels of happiness. everyone was in a unique love situation. Please do not change one damn thing about this movie!!!
