"I will never love a novel the way I loved 'Wuthering Heights' again"

 4 out of 5 stars for Emily from Fangirlish:

Reviosinist but ravishing (...) Mackey brings that progress to life in an excellent performance. Emily is fierce and fragile simultaneously. The supporting actors, especially Whitehead, are superb as well. I’d also like to single out the score by Abel Korzeniowski, as it was particularly outstanding. The atmosphere in which this story can work so well depends on these things, and this film has them in place. Setting aside the lack of historical accuracy, the story is strong because it positions the central character as the anchor for all of the emotional momentum. Emily is not a history lesson but it is a good film, and it looks beautiful too. (Rachel)

Tribute (Canada) interviews Frances O'Connor and Emma Mackey:

Alexandra Heilbron: How important was it for you to film in Yorkshire where the Brontë family lived?

Frances O'Connor: So important. Because it’s so different from other kinds of landscapes. Also I wanted for the actors to feel like they were really there. It was really helpful for the actors to be in that world. You’re surrounded by people who are actually speaking in the accent. It looked really beautiful I think, in how we photographed it. There are sheep on the moor and you know, all of that kind of thing. And why not? If you’re going to tell a story in Yorkshire, why not shoot it there?

A.H,: Emma, what was it like filming in Yorkshire?

Emma Mackey: It’s everything, it’s so key. In the same way that in Wuthering Heights, the landscape plays such a huge part and is its own alive character, it was obviously really important to film up there. It’s such a specific place, it’s so striking. It has a really particular energy to it, it’s quite lunar, it’s a very “moon-like” place. There’s a lot of rocks and the sky feels really close and it kind of feels really extensive and it’s quite barren. So you kind of get a sense of what it was like for those people living there. And then when you go up to the parsonage where the Brontës actually lived, you see Emily Brontë’s room looks out onto a graveyard. So her whole life, she woke up to graves, which kind of gives you a sense of where her mind was at, bless her. So it’s pretty morbid. But it has a real strength to it as well, it’s pretty informative and you really feel it when you’re up there, it’s quite haunting (laughs).

Another review can be found on Phaedra's Adventures. The film is also mentioned in NBC Palm Springs, KION 46, Tdg (Switzerland)...

Cambridge Day reviews the film Sharper and mentions the Jane Eyre first-edition scene:

Sandra walks into Tom’s shop and also has a love for all things Brontë, but naturally not everyone is as they appear. Caron pulls back the veils through different POVs, and while we get new information that changes the context of the narrative, much that goes on in “Sharper” feels like any one of the characters could easily unravel the ever-twisting ruse with a good google. Perhaps love, sex and Brontë makes them blind? (Tom Meek)

Outlook Weekender (India) explores friendship in poetry:

Indeed many poets, let down by the unreliability of exciting lovers, have penned how they were redeemed by dependable friendships. Emily Bronte’s famous poem ‘Love and Friendship’ conveys this sentiment well: “Love is like the wild rose-briar / Friendship like the holly-tree / The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms / But which will bloom most constantly?” (Debotri Dhar)

We rather disagree with Martha Gill who says in The Observer:

Nanny knows worst, English literature tells us, when she meddles in matters of the heart. If Juliet’s nurse and Wuthering Heights’ Nelly hadn’t freelanced quite so enthusiastically as relationship therapists, lives might have been saved and indeed lived happily ever after. 

Nelly or no Nelly, the thing of Heathcliff and Cathy was doomed, and you know it. 

 Sarah Whiteley reminisces about her university years in Metro:

Choosing what to study at university was a no-brainer and during my English Literature degree, I discovered the joys of Gothic literature, the Brontës and Shakespeare.

We read in Reed College Quest about a new Jane Eyre adaptation in progress:

For Bedlam Theatre (NY), [Dr.] Musa [Gurnis] has dramaturged The Crucible, King Lear, and The Winter’s Tale. The company has a production of her new adaptation of Jane Eyre in development. 

El Cohete que va a la Luna revisits Neil Jordan's The Crying Game, 30 years after its premiere: 

El barman Col sugiere en el film que nadie conoce los secretos del corazón humano. Pero hay verdades que, como la identidad de Dil, no pueden permanecer ocultas mucho tiempo. El ser humano es una criatura que no tolera que se le imponga quién debe ser. Como decía Charlotte Brontë en Jane Eyre: «No soy un pájaro, y ninguna red me atrapa. Soy un ser humano libre, con una voluntad independiente». (Marcelo Figueras) (Translation)

¡Ahora! (Cuba) interviews bookstore owner Lilian Pilate Hastie:

En abril cumplirá 40 años, pero se enamoró de los libros a los trece, cuando una amiga le prestó El largo camino a casa, de Saroo Brierley, con cuyo autor y argumento se identificó; le siguió el clásico Jane Eyre. ¿Sus favoritos? Lilian lo niega: “No tengo preferencias literarias, cualquier buen lector se place en la más mínima letra, como si es la de los diarios”. (Rubén Rodríguez González) (Translation)

El Diario Montañés (Spain) interviews the writer Alejandro Gándara:

Guillermo Balbona: ¿Cuál fue su primer amor literario?

Alejandro Gándara: Emily Brönte (sic) . Primero y último. Nunca volveré a amar una novela como amé 'Cumbres Borrascosas'.  (Translation)

Folkebladet (Norway) talks about the presence of Jane Eyre, as adapted by Eline Arbo, at the Brandhaarden Theatre Festival in Amsterdam.
