Why watch this film?

Emily Brontë died too soon. At 30 years old, the author of 'Wuthering Heights' took her last breath, leaving behind one of the most relevant (and read) works of the 19th century. Her story is told and imagined in 'Emily', where Emma Mackey ('Sex Education', from Netflix) plays this writer in her youth. Even though many aspects of her life are imagined, since there is little information about the author, it is interesting to dive into what lies behind this book and, above all, it is inspiring to get to know better such a remarkable and important figure. It's just a shame that first-time director and screenwriter Frances O'Connor doesn't bring anything very original to the table, betting on those basic elements of biopics.
