Emily

The film is based on the brief life of Emily Brönte, the well-known British writer and poet who was often misunderstood. Brönte, who died at the early age of 30 from tuberculosis, is the author of 'Wuthering Heights', a classic of 19th century English literature. 'Emily' explores the author's life and delves into her relationship with her family, especially her sisters Charlotte and Anne, who were also writers, as well as her admiration for her older brother Branwell.

This biographical drama is also the feature debut of Frances O'Connor, an actress best known for 'A: I: Artificial Intelligence', who makes her screenwriting and directing debut. For her work in 'Emily', she was nominated for Best Film in the Fantastic Competition at the Sitges Film Festival. It is also the film debut of Amelia Gething, who plays Anne Brönte. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2022, and received a perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Emma Mackey ('Sex Education', 'Barbie') stars as Emily, joined by Fionn Whitehead, Alexandra Dowling and Amelia Gething as her siblings. The cast also includes Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Adrian Dunbar, Gemma Jones, Sacha Parkinson, Harry Anton, Gerald Lepkowski, Philip Desmeules, and Elijah Wolf.
