Emily (2022) w/ Brian Hicks

from Escape into Period Pieces · host Stephanie Reese

Should you watch Emily (2022) starring Emma Mackey and written/directed by Frances O'Connor? Listen to Stephanie and returning guest Brian Hicks's thoughts in today's episode and find out! This "biopic" takes creative liberties with Emily Bronte's story as it fuses her life with her only novel Wuthering Heights. O'Connor tries to solve how Emily came up with the novel, and we have thoughts about what she comes up with! For more background on the Brontes, listen to last episode (2x20) for a crash course on the family. Emily is available to rent on Prime Video, Hoopla, Tubi, and Plex. Send good vibes to Brian as he defends his dissertation this month!
