Emily (2023, U.K./U.S.A.)

“Breathtaking interpretation of Emily Bronte’s life”, The Film Stage.

Frances O’Connor makes her directorial debut with Emily.

Emily tells the imagined life of one of the world’s most famous authors, Emily Bronte.  The film stars Emma Mackey (Sex Education, Death on the Nile) as Emily, a rebel and misfit, as she finds her voice and writes the literary classic ‘Wuthering Heights’.  Emily explores the relationships that inspired her – her raw passionate sisterhood with Charlotte (Alexandra Dowling – The Musketeers) and Anne (Amelia Gething  – The Spanish Princess); her first aching, forbidden love for Wightman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen – The Lost Daughter) and her care for her maverick brother Branwell (Fion Whitehead – The Duke, Dunkirk), whom she idolises.

The film also stars Adrian Dunbar (Line of Duty) and Gemma Jones (Bridget Jones trilogy).
