Tampa Bay Newspapers reviews the film Starve Acre:
Set amidst the rural moorlands of Yorkshire in the 1970s, the film opens on what appears to be an idyllic family. Following the death of his father, Richard Willoughby (Matt Smith) brings his wife Juliette (Morfydd Clark) and 5-year-old son Owen (Arthur Shaw) to Starve Acre, a remote tract of land located some distance from the nearest village. The landscape, though beautiful, exudes an impression of harshness, detachment, and hopelessness. It is windswept, gray, and stormy: Think Emily Brontë’s “Wuthering Heights.” (Lee Clark Zumpe)

Good Housekeeping lists the best fantasy novels to read:
Bitterthorn by Kat Dunn. Every 50 years, a dark witch takes a new companion, never to be seen again. This time, 20 years-old Mina volunteers; her future looks bleak either way, but at least here she has agency in her decision. She travels to a fantastic German gothic castle, where doors open to random seasons and moments in the past. The witch’s only request: that she doesn’t visit her tower. A stunning meditation on loneliness, with nods to Jane Eyre, Angelina Jolie’s Maleficent and Naomi Novik’s Uprooted. (Lucie Goulet)
Alessandra Today (Italy) reviews the poem 'Tis moonlight, summer moonlight (1840) by Emily Brontë:
La poesia è un esempio perfetto dell’abilità di Brontë nel creare atmosfere suggestive e nel trasmettere emozioni profonde attraverso il linguaggio poetico. La sua descrizione del chiaro di luna estivo è tanto visiva quanto emotiva, riuscendo a evocare un senso di pace e di meraviglia che cattura l’immaginazione del lettore. (Translation)
