Emily
Synopsis
Emily (Emma Mackey) wears a mask. The world tells her to be quiet, obedient, dutiful - never to share her thoughts, feelings, or dreams. Yet Emily is wildly alive, raging with emotion, her imagination boundless. She refuses to stay silent. And Emily is about to show you why.
Debut filmmaker Frances O’Connor immerses us in Emily Brontë’s hidden world: a rebel and misfit daring to embrace her true nature, to hell with the consequences. We witness the relationships that inspired her - her raw, passionate sisterhood with Charlotte (Amelia Gething) and Anne, her forbidden love for Weightman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), and devotion to her maverick brother (Fionn Whitehead).
EMILY shouts to women today: remove the mask, find your voice, and unleash your true potential.
