Summary
EMILY tells the imagined life of one of the worlds most famous authors, Emily Bront. The film stars Emma Mackey (Sex Education, Death on the Nile) as Emily, a rebel and misfit, as she finds her voice and writes the literary classic Wuthering Heights. EMILY explores the relationships that inspired her her raw, passionate sisterhood with Charlotte (Alexandra Dowling The Musketeers) and Anne (Amelia Gething The Spanish Princess); her first aching, forbidden love for Weightman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen The Lost Daughter, The Haunting of Bly Manor) and her care for her maverick brother Branwell (Fionn Whitehead The Duke, Dunkirk), whom she idolises. Frances OConnor makes her directorial debut with EMILY, from her own original screenplay. The film also stars Adrian Dunbar (Line of Duty) and Gemma Jones (Bridget Joness Baby, Gentleman Jack)
