6/10
Total Fiction But is was Amusing!

Not really a biopic more a total fictional flight of fancy. The Brontë society will be aghast, however as a fluffy fictional amusement it kinda worked.

Emma Mackey, despite an overworked sullen look most of time, grappled with the material she had been given and it was good. We did have some very good supporting parts, the father, the curate but Bramwell part was not that good.

Of course, the genesis of the these great novels is; highly educated women, under utilised by society, trapped altogether in a miserable place and competing and critiquing each others work, not interesting I know but there you go.

Of course there is no evidence of a fling with the curate as an explanation of the passion in Wuthering Heights, a tall story but we needed something interesting.

I'm giving this a 6 outta 10, meaning an interesting watch!
