Emily Brontë gets a closer, fictional look.
Going into Emily, the feature debut of director Frances O'Connor, it is important to understand that the film isn't a biopic. The title character may be Emily Brontë, the author behind literary classic Wuthering Heights, but it is clear that O'Connor, who also wrote the screenplay, opted to add a fictional slant in bringing this figure to life.

O'Connor is aided by impressive work from key craftspeople, including director of photography Nanu Segal and costume designer Michael O'Connor, who offer standout contributions. Segal grants Mackey ample time to shine by letting the camera linger on her face, sometimes even centering it directly on her to catch every flicker and shift; this pulls the audience even further into Emily's orbit.
Emily isn't without some stumbles, though. There are some key developments in the script that come a bit too fast to truly feel their impact, such as a plot point involving Branwell far enough into the film to be considered a spoiler. The speed of Emily's resolution can dull its overall impression. Luckily, though, the film has a major advantage in Mackey.
Emily is a period piece that wears its modern sensibilities on its sleeve, and it thankfully pulls off that high-wire act rather well. Pacing issues aside, it is a well-crafted character study of a person who really lived, though perhaps not quite in the way the movie suggests.
