Emma Mackey's most challenging performance yet 💓

, Mackey responds, “I’m not spiritual.” Instead, Mackey is more passionate about the filmmaking process behind, which was shot with handheld cameras, natural lighting, and timely rain on location in Haworth. “It was evocative visiting the parsonage, and seeing that Emily’s bedroom looked out onto a graveyard,” she says. “Her whole life, she woke up to graves.”

An early highlight is when Emily puts on a mask and convinces a crowded kitchen that she’s possessed by her dead mother. For a moment, you’re watching. “Suddenly you’re not in a costume-drama. You’re like, ‘What the fuck?’ I love that undertone of the supernatural that they were so fascinated with at the time. That gothic element carries its weight in the film.”Little is known about Emily Brontë’s real life.

“I understand that people are bothered by ,” Mackey says. “But it doesn’t matter! It’s an interpretation, not a documentary. It’s Frances’s vision. She wanted to show a young woman trying to find her authentic voice, but knowing she always had it. There’s also a dreamscape in the film. You never know what genre you’re really in. It’s supernatural, or there’s the very real, gritty Yorkshire weather that I’m running up and down hills in.
