Emily Ratings & Reviews
Observer
Rex Reed
Despite strong visual appeal and a star performance from Emma Mackey this rendering of the Brontë family saga gets almost everything wrong.
Chicago Reader
Colleen Morrissey
If one does not look to Emily to adhere too faithfully to historical truth or, indeed, to depict what actual writing is like, then it is a satisfying-or at least benign-story.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
"Emily" is a good, engrossing watch, and it avoids most (but not all) of the genre's pitfalls.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
O'Connor and Mackey together bring their subject to new heights.
Rolling Stone
K. Austin Collins
It feels more like an effort to make us curious about this woman, whether or not we know or care who she is. And from the moment we see her, we are indeed inclined to be curious. That's how you know it works.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Emma Mackey is utterly magnetic.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
A film that doesn't want to be bound - much like its central character - to one genre or one overall conceit. And that lifts Emily far above other recent, more staid and comfortable biopics.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Frances O'Connor makes a striking directorial debut with a provocatively revisionist biography of Emily Brontë.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
I'll tell you who I'd love to have watched this movie with - Emily Bronte. But I doubt she'd have lasted 20 minutes. They say she had a temper. Her review would have been a lot harsher than mine.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
A film about the gifted, strange Brontë sister that mingles fact with imagination to depict Emily's adult years.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
[An] imaginative leap.
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
A bold and audacious retelling of Emily Brontë's life starring an uncommonly compelling Emma Mackey.
Wall Street Journal
Kyle Smith
A portrait that feels in some sense true and also make viewers so engaged that they're hungry to learn more about the subject.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
O'Connor is hardly bound by history, yet with "Emily" she's clearly more interested in finding the emotional truth of Emily Brontë's life than in merely reciting the facts.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Paints a haunting and sympathetic portrait of the person she might have been.
AV Club
Tim Cogshell
O'Connor's Emily overcomes her quirks, engages her desire, and fulfills her passions-and then some.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
Without plunging into full anachronism, the film happily plays both fast and loose with history, its tone frequently wobbling between melodrama, magic realism, and the more traditional structures of classic period drama.
Slate
Laura Miller
[Brontë] deserves more than this biopic's utter lack of interest in the very thing that made her immortal. Emily is a movie about "writing" that's forgotten how to read.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
O'Connor's liberties work for a story that, above all, is about art as an act of radical sovereignty.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
A movie that delights in hurling caution and historical fidelity to the Yorkshire wind.
