EMILY

I liked everything about this film. I could see how the tone of it might not appeal to some, but it appealed to me. The film is dark, tragic and absolutely exquisite. There's a sense of impending doom that lingers over most of the film, and considering Emily Bronte's early death, the subtle feeling of that doom seems very fitting. Frances O'Connor first outing as a writer and a director is a brilliant one. Emma Mackey is wonderful in every way as Emily Bronte. The score is gorgeous. Abel Korzeniowski is one of my favorite film composers, and he was a great choice. I saw one negative review referred to the intimate scenes as smut. It's ironic that this sort of judgemental attitude is the very cause of these types of tragic stories. And I'm not sure how a story about this kind of passion can be told without those scenes. I found them to be tasteful and generally understated in this film.

Absolutely pulls you in! Afterwards I researched Emily Bronte a little more and even though the film takes lots of liberties it feel like her life through her novel Wuthering Hieghts. Beautifully tragic!

Though Frances O'Connor's script is an imagined look at Emily Brontë's life it captures the spirit of her "unchained soul".Emma Mackey's performance is a stunningly heartfelt interpretation of a woman that was ahead of her time. She is both haunting and inspiring in her role and is supported by a stellar cast.This is a brilliantly written, directed, performed and filmed work of art.For the hopelessly romantic, I highly recommend.

I absolutely loved this movie! Yes, it’s a majorly fictional account of the Brönte sisters and their family, but the actors, costumes, and cinematography does it great justice. If you’re looking for a faithful biopic, this will no be it. This film is like a moody, rainy, poignant dream. It’s beautifully shot; every scene could be framed as a painting. I cannot wait to add this to my collection once the DVD is released!

This was not about Emily Bronte. This was a ridiculous film. While I can allow some artistic license when it comes to making a film about a historical figure, this film completely fictionalized Emily Bronte's life. While this is a drama and not meant to be a biographical documentary, people unfamiliar with Bronte will take this as fact. What an incredible disappointment this film was.

Whether the movie is good or bad, well-directed, well-acted or beautifully shot or not, I don't even care. I can't see past the horrific misrepresentation of the family dynamic, the relationship between the siblings, the historical facts that are way off... If you want to make up things, write about fictional characters. Charlotte's outbursts at Emily is downright horrifying and I can imagine her turning in her grave. No peaceful slumber for her after this load of nonsense, that's for sure. I just hope people who want to know about the family and the birth of Wuthering Heights will go and read biographies and forget about this mess.

Emma Mackey is worth watching and she dresses really nice if you're into Victorian movies.

Film bello e consigliato fatto di regalo a mia moglie

Beautifully filmed,music is sublime, costumes authentic, wonderful to see the interior of Haworth Parsonage, the church. But, oh dear: a major gaffe is when Emily receives the first copies of her WH, the title page is printed with her name when it was published under her pen name of Ellis Bell. How this major mistake got overlooked is unbelievable. Worth a look, though, as it is interesting to see scenes where Emily may have got her inspiration for WH - that was well done by the director Francis O'Connor.

Un film de belle esthétique, à la photographie soignée, aux émotions intenses et violentes, dans lequel les moors et le goût de la liberté indissociables d'Emily Bronte sont très bien mis en avant. Cependant, ce n'est en rien une biographie. Le scénario prend de telles distances avec la vie de l'auteur, qu'elle en devient personnage de fiction à part entière. A voir pour l'ambiance passionnée qui s'en dégage et le jeu habité de ses interprètes, et pour la beauté des images, mais pas dans un souci de vérité.

Ich habe bereits mehrere andere Verfilmungen, die die Schwestern Bronte betreffen, aber hier geht es nur um Emily und der Charakter wurde sehr gut eingefangen.Eine sehr aufwühlend Geschichte, die mich länger beschäftig hat. Eine Frau, die viele Schicksale von Frauen repräsentiert... Eine wirklich gute Verfilmung

liked the story of the Brontes but i found this dvd a bit slow.
