Emily - Review

130 Minutes, Rated R

Written and Directed by Frances O'Connor

Synopsis (from Bleeker Street):

EMILY imagines Emily Brontë’s own Gothic story that inspired her seminal novel, "Wuthering Heights." Haunted by the death of her mother, Emily struggles within the confines of her family life and yearns for artistic and personal freedom, and so begins a journey to channel her creative potential into one of the greatest novels of all time.

Ah, yes, Bronte...The scourge of every literature student ever.

This time, instead of the author's version of a maudlin, gothic romantic fiction, we get a fictionalized version of the author's life told as a maudlin, gothic romance.

So there's that...?

I guess.

Emma Mackey is pretty darned good here, though.

Have a listen as Mark breaks it down for you.
