Friday 10 Mar: Film Night - Emily

EMILY [15] 130 mins – Biography/Drama

Latest! Emma Mackey wins Rising Star BAFTA for her lead role in Emily.

Emily Brontë, a rebel and a misfit, and one of the world's most famous and enigmatic writers, died at the age of 30 having published only one novel and some poetry. Emily freely imagines her life story and how a sheltered clergyman’s daughter could create a work as fierce and passionate as Wuthering Heights.

There are some deliciously beautiful visual moments as well as some funny ones. (Emily bakes a very bad cake at one point.) And Mackey is superb, able to convey her bafflement at the world, as well as her deep attachment to it, with just a flicker of an eye or the set of her jaw. It is one of those films that is better than anyone can ever make it sound.” The Spectator
