Emily is an upcoming biographical drama film written and directed by Frances O’Connor in her directorial debut. It depicts the brief life of English writer Emily Brontë, portrayed by Emma Mackey, before she wrote Wuthering Heights. Fionn Whitehead, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Alexandra Dowling, Adrian Dunbar, Amelia Gething, and Gemma Jones also appear in supporting roles.
According to the official synopsis, “Emily imagines the transformative, exhilarating, and uplifting journey to the womanhood of a rebel and a misfit, one of the world’s most famous, enigmatic, and provocative writers who died too soon at the age of 30.”
Emily is set to premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival in September 2022, before being theatrically released in the United Kingdom on October 14, 2022, and in the United States in 2023. And, as you know, we love period shows, so this movie will be on our radar.
Check Out Emily’s Trailer
In the trailer, you can see Emily’s struggle to be herself in a society that despised such a fighter, brave, and far from social conventions woman like her.
Emily was ahead of her time and, therefore, had to face not only society but also her family and even love that, although he seemed to understand her, didn’t believe in her enough. But she got ahead. Her life was brief but convulsive and full of struggle for her voice to be heard and to claim her place in history.
Emily will hit theaters in the UK on October 14, 2022, and in the US in 2023.
