The life of the poet Emily Dickinson, her family, and her withdrawal into reclusion in nineteenth-century Massachusetts.
Sinekatalog’s take
Terence Davies's biopic of Emily Dickinson traces her withdrawal into poetry and seclusion. Cynthia Nixon is superb, and the film's wit, formality and aching sorrow make a stately, devastating portrait.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
