A romantic yet tragic tail

The film portrays a wholesome story surrounding Emily Bronte: the quirky personality that she offered and the challenges she faced that inspired the writings of Wuthering Heights.

The casting proves well with characters being consistent, delivering a believable and emotional story.

Many scenes showed a beautiful authenticity of the era while some were shocking: for example a more thrilling and scary scene which was exciting and tense and very unexpected.

Scenes are elegantly segregated in parts by wonderful showings of the Yorkshire moors and horizons which is effective in setting the mood for calmer scenes and dialogue. At the same time, the films soundtrack consists of relevant piano music which is inviting and warming.

Poignant

This is is well-directed and well acted with beautiful photography. It is loosely based on Emily Bronte's life and depicts events which are mirrored in Wuthering Heights. It is not hard to find factual errors eg.it was Anne who had the relationship with William Weightman, but if you just treat as a story in its own right, it is a great piece of film-making. I was reminded that the films: Becoming Jane and Shakespeare in Love, were also about famous authors used failed romances as the impetus to write. I noticed that the first edition of her book had her own name inside the cover. Like her sisters she wrote under a pseudonym: Ellis Bell.

The Life and Inspirations of Emily Bronte

The Life and Inspirations of Emily Bronte, although how factually accurate all of it was is questionable.

Still, it perfectly captures the desolate and isolated setting of the moors as well as the trappings of a creative mind in a strictly regulated society and the pain and drama of forbidden/unrequited love.

It felt a bit too long towards the end, but I enjoyed it and it was interesting throughout with plenty of events, great acting and good use of music.

Overall, I would score this film as a nine out of ten.
