Blu-rayDefinition reviews the edition:

The Brontë Sisters takes an unvarnished look into mid-19th century life for women who were pursuing unconventional careers as writers. While rather little attention is paid to their actual works, we get a penetrating story of the four siblings, told in French. Director Téchiné took what could have been a rather slight story and with a superb cast, cinematography, and score delivers a masterpiece, marred only by some visual and audio shortcomings, at least when compared to the best current technical standards. Another triumph for the Cohen Film Collection. (Lawrence D. Devoe)

And Blu-ray.com:

With stunning cinematography by Bruno Nuytten (Jean de Florette) and powerful music by Philippe Sarde (Tess), The Brontë Sisters is a richly rewarding film; it's both a step back into history and a startling look at the immediacy of artistic creation.

Denton Record-Chronicle:

The film dutifully evokes Brontë-esque feelings of isolation, despair and loneliness with Bruno Nuytten’s cinematography of the barren moors and endless landscapes of the Brontës’ native Yorkshire. (Boo Allen)
