I know the subject was old, but did the directing have to be as well? And why does the film not explain why Emily Brontë had a Wednesday Addams sneer permanently affixed to her face? Also, remember when Instagram first started and everybody was putting filters on their photos whether they needed them or not? Well, nearly every film I've seen this year has had this dark film over the top like scum on pond water and makes the movie hard to dive into. [Disclaimer: I'm not a fan of Emily Brontë, nor period films nor melodrama, so it's unsurprising I found Emily quite a slog. You'll like it far better, I'm sure.]

Instead of making an adaptation of her work, the director prefers to turn Emily Brontë into a character in her novel. Which is a respectable creative decision, but one that doesn't work because it lacks the passion and heartbreaking emotion it needs. In the end, the film seems to underline the mistaken belief, which has always surrounded the young writer, that only if she had experienced a love relationship she could write about love passion. But precisely "Emily" shows that experience cannot always produce the ability to transmit emotions.

Over 2 hours runtime and the only scene that stuck with me and made an impression was the "mask" scene. Oh god, it was so deliciously creepy and horrific and sad and oh so brilliantly done. The writer/director should definitely do a horror movie.

Emma Mackey is really quite strong in this imagining of the life (and love) of "Wuthering Heights" author Emily Brontë. Portrayed as a rather shy and reluctant woman, she lives in the shadow of her successful teacher sister Charlotte (Alexandra Dowling) with her somewhat wayward brother Bramwell (F More
