A fiendish scheme to swipe rare Charlotte Brontës?

Cosmopolitan didn't get the memo about Emily not being a biopic either as the films is one of their '9 New Movies Based on True Stories to Watch in 2023'.

Emily

In theaters February 17

Emily is a biopic about Emily Brontë, the author of the 1847 novel Wuthering Heights and the sister of writers Anne and Charlotte Brontë, who died at only 30. Part-fiction, the movie focuses on a love story between Emily (Emma Mackey) and William Weightman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), Emily's writing, and her relationship with her sisters. (Lia Beck)

The Bay Area Reporter mentions the film as part of the Mostly British Film Festival.

"Emily" is the opening night feature that is a part fictional biographical dramatic film on the 19th-century English writer Emily Brontë and her famous authorial family. In her debut, it is directed by Australian actress Frances O'Connor ("Mansfield Park"). On her deathbed, older sister Charlotte (Alexandra Dowling) asks Emily (Emma Mackey) what inspired her to write the novel "Wuthering Heights."

Emily relates her then secret passionate love affair with a new curate William Weightman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), despite the disapproval of her older, wayward brother Branwell (Fionn Whitehead) who dislikes Weightman. There was no screener for the press. However, the reviews in England were excellent, approving of its appropriate Gothic tone in the forbidding Yorkshire Moors, with a story as compelling as its source material. (Brian Bromberger)

ABC News mentions the Jane Eyre reference in the film Sharper.

It opens with a seemingly sweet note of romance. Sandra (Middleton) breezes into a used bookshop on the Lower East Side to pick up a copy of Zora Neale Hurston's “Their Eyes Were Watching God.” She tells the guy behind the counter — Tom (Justice Smith) — that she's getting her PhD in Black feminist studies. The scene could be a meet cute for a bookish romcom. But given that opening title card, we're on guard for the scam. She's forgotten money — is that the play? A free book? They go on a date and later return to the store to hold in their hands a first edition of “Jane Eyre.” Maybe that's the goal? A fiendish scheme to swipe rare Charlotte Brontës? But as a character says later in “Sharper,” if you're going to steal, steal big. (Jake Coyle)

A columnist from The Times of India reminisces about her book club.

We would read lines from self-assigned books and share our thoughts. From Charles Dickens to O’Henry, from George Eliot to the Brontë sisters, even contemporary authors were embraced in our midst. There was no room for drudgery because we had books to escape into and then we’d look forward to our meet each Friday noon. (Navanita Varadpande)

The Daily Tar Heel has a column in defence of the humanities.

The humanities allow us to understand these and harness them for good. The works of W.E.B. Du Bois help us understand the roots of racism and how to combat it. Reading Jane Eyre connects us with feelings of passion. (Edward Lezada)

Infobae (Argentina) features the play Pampa escarlata.

Las resonancias son muchas, van desde Jane Eyre hasta Bridgerton, pasando por Sin rumbo y las pinturas de Eduardo Sívori. En ningún momento se produce una apropiación completa de ninguna de ellas: los universos coexisten y se convidan elementos. (Martina Vidret) (Translation)

Wuthering Heights is one of 20 must-read books according to NTV (Germany).
