Sex Education star Emma Mackey stars as the beloved author Emily Brontë.
Emily landed in UK cinemas at the end of 2022 and hooked viewers with its imaginative dive into the life of Wuthering Heights author, Emily Brontë.
The movie, which marks Frances O’Connor’s directorial debut, is far from a traditional biopic, blurring the line between fact and fiction as it tries to connect the dots between Emily’s (Sex Education star Emma Mackey) life and her sole novel.
When discussing Emily, O’Connor previously told RadioTimes.com: “She’s a rebel and a misfit and a genius, but she just doesn’t know it yet.”
She continued: “And I think in a way it’s like an origin story about how this young woman finds her power – it follows very much that kind of hero’s journey arc.”
“She died when she was 30, she was an intensely private person,” she added. “And yet she wrote this novel that’s just full of this kind of huge passionate feeling, this kind of darkness. And I just thought, well, who is she? You know, to write this kind of work.”
If you’re wondering how you can watch the film in 2023, read on for everything you need to know.
