Heard many good things about this film from TIFF. It was interesting.

It's a standard typical character study portray about writer Emily Brontë with gorgeous camerawork, costumes and a strong lead performance from Emma Mackey. Bronte who wrote Wuthering Heights has an interesting background and the film does a decent job exploring her personality and background. The camerawork is beautiful, the uses of soundtrack was good, and the colors although certain moments felt too dark; felt purposeful to it's setting. Mackey's performance as the lead character was great alongside with Fionn Whitehead and Alexandra Dowling as Whitehead and Dowling had great moments together. The other performances from the cast were alright but felt kind of underacted at times.

The narrative is pretty standard and the standard structure does make certain moments feel too slow as it made the movie a bit boring. The direction from Frances O'Connor is decent although a bit uneven. The characters of Emily and her brother Branwell were the most interesting parts as anytime the two are on screen, there is great chemistry and atmosphere together. While the other characters were unfortunately were kind of dull and not as interesting.

Overall, the film still holds strong with a strong lead performance, camerawork and pretty good written dialogue that was interesting to listen. The mask scene was brilliantly executed.
