''Emily'' is a British {{biopic}} film about Creator/EmilyBronte. Released in 2022, it is the directorial debut of Creator/FrancesOConnor and stars Creator/EmmaMackey in the title role. Emily is the most solitary and reclusive of the Brontës and the historical record contains little about her internal and personal lives; the film posits events that could have led to the creation of her provocative seminal novel, ''Literature/WutheringHeights''.
It is 1840s England. Emily is the imaginitive and introverted "strange" middle Brontë sister, upset at how her sisters Creator/{{Charlotte|Bronte}} (Creator/AlexandraDowling) and Creator/{{Anne|Bronte}} (Creator/AmeliaGething) are beginning to live their childhood games behind.

But as Emily comes of age, events eventually pave the way towards the writing of her novel and eventual death.
Co-starring Creator/AdrianDunbar and Creator/GemmaJones, the film debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2022 ahead of a theatrical release in October of the same year.
