IOL (South Africa) highlights 'The top female-led movies for 2023' and one of them is

“Emily”

This British biographical drama film is yet another 2023 movie which features a strong female case.

It stars Emma Mackey, who plays Maeve Wiley in Netflix’s hit comedy-drama series “Sex Education”, in the title role.

The British-French actress is joined by Alexandra Dowling and Amelia Gething, who all play lead characters.

“Emily” is directed by fellow female Frances O’Connor.

The film also has strong themes of sisterhood, as it centres around literary luminary, Emily Brontë, who undertakes a journey to find her distinctive voice.

Set against the backdrop of societal constraints, Emily's story is also marked by forbidden love, unwavering sisterly devotion, and a strong determination to fight patriarchy and carve her own legacy.

GQ on Saltburn:

Fennell’s movie is also a reminder that when it comes to building tension on screen, there’s no better setting than a stately, secluded estate (preferably in the U.K., though that part is negotiable). Dating back to the fiction of the Brontë sisters, Edgar Allen Poe, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, these settings have fueled tension both grounded in interpersonal dynamics and buoyed by supernatural goings on.

Big Think has selected '5 books that pioneered new subgenres of literature' and one of them is

1. The Castle of Otranto (Gothic horror)

[...] The genre proved hugely popular in the late 1700s to the mid-1800s, culminating in such impressive works as Emily and Charlotte Brontë’s Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre (1847), respectively. 

According to AOL, Anne Brontë's poem Music on Christmas Morning is one of the '30 Best Christmas Poems That Will Fill Your Hearts With Holiday Cheer'.
