The Sally Hawkins fiasco

Movieweb recommends "short romantic drama series". Oddly, the website mistakes Ruth Wilson for Sally Hawkins.

Jane Eyre 2006

Charlotte Brontë's 1847 novel has several adaptations across film and TV. 2006’s Jane Eyre, however, stands out in its style and storytelling. In it, a young Jane Eyre, orphaned and alone, finds work as a governess at Thornfield Hall. There, she meets her employer, Edward Rochester, a brooding man dealing with his own demons. As Jane and Mr. Rochester grow close, secrets from their past threaten to destroy their love before it burgeons.

Known Forever as the Great Romantic Tragedy

Retelling a haunting classic is no easy feat, but Jane Eyre does so beautifully. Sally Hawkins and Toby Stephens embody Jane and Mr. Rochester with simmering intensity. Their tender moments of intimacy and longing gazes from across the room amplify every scene. Director Susanna White strips the source material to its essence by focusing on the atmosphere of mystery, emotional layers, and timeless visuals. (Soniya Hinduja)

Jane Eyre

Charlotte Brontë, one of the Brontë sisters, lived a relatively isolated life in the Yorkshire moors. Her experiences as a governess and her struggles with societal expectations deeply influenced her writing.

Jane Eyre is a pioneering work in feminist literature, presenting a heroine who is fiercely independent and morally strong. Brontë’s novel blends elements of gothic fiction, romance, and social critique, creating a narrative that is both thrilling and thought-provoking. Jane’s journey from a mistreated orphan to a self-assured woman who defies societal norms is a powerful story of resilience and self-respect, making it a timeless read. Her fight for self-respect and agency continues to inspire women to navigate societal pressures today. (Apeksha Arya)

Another vindication of Guillermo Del Toro's Crimson Peak can be read on Collider: 

That said, del Toro consciously incorporated elements from his largest formative influences. The list is abundant and sumptuous: he credits literary pioneers Ann Radcliffe, Daphne du Maurier, and Charlotte Brontë, director Mario Bava, Victorian painters and architecture, and his own family's experiences with the supernatural. (Kelcie Mattson)

Country Life has a list of the finest last words:

 ‘Oh, I am not going to die, am I? He will not separate us, we have been so happy.’

Charlotte Brontë to her husband, Arthur Bell Nicholls — they had been married less than a year when she died in 1855. (Compiled by Annunciata Elwes)

As quoted by Elizabeth Gaskell in her Life of Charlotte Brontë.

This opinion piece from The Age reflects on high school experiences, referencing Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights as part of the author's rebellious academic past.

“She always was a Little Miss,” an English-history teacher tut-tutted. “Remember her Wuthering Heights fiasco?”

Now, I will not dispute that I was indeed a “Little Miss”. I hope life has been kind to the teachers who had to bear me at that age because they have earned some rest. But I have no memory of this Wuthering Heights fiasco. (...)

"I had a weird obsession with Emily Bronte's intense, gothic novel in those teenage years." (...)

"And so, it seems, I took it upon myself to turn in an assignment on Wuthering Heights, a book which, while part of the national syllabus, I had most definitely not been assigned." (Parnell Palme McGuinness)

The Irish Times interviews the writer Matt Haig:

Martin Doyle: Which writers, living or dead, would you invite to your dream dinner party?

M.H.: Borges, Shakespeare, Douglas Adams, Dorothy Parker, the Emilys (Dickinson and Brontë), and Homer just for curiosity, and to see if he was a person or a collective.

The Sunday Times reviews the film Starve Acre:

The long pause that follows is enough to tell us that nothing could be further from the truth, particularly when you have the cinematographer Adam Scarth on hand to frame every landscape with the gnarly impassivity of a Brontë adaptation. (Tom Shone and Susannah Butter)

This journalist of Alicante Plaza (Spain) has visited some local sites under the influence of the Brontës:

Casualidades de la vida: acababa de revisitar en Filmin Jane Eyre, una cinta excelente dirigida en 2011 por Cary Fukunaga según la novela de Charlotte Brontë. Romanticismo en vena. Y un poco de proto-feminismo. (Antonio Zardoya) (Translation)

Nonfiction (France) reviews the essay  Pour en finir avec la passion. L'abus en littérature by Sarah Delale, Élodie Pinel and Marie-Pierre Tachet:

Un exemple de ce phénomène est apporté dans le prologue. Dans un épisode de la série Friends, le personnage de Rachel doit présenter, lors d’un cours de littérature, Les Hauts de Hurlevent, d’Emily Brontë, alors qu’elle ne l’a pas lu. Elle en demande donc un résumé à son amie Phoebe qui lui présente le roman comme une tragique histoire d’amour, se limitant de fait aux seize premiers chapitres – comme l’ont fait avant elle Jacques Rivette ou Georges Bataille. Or, d’amour, est-il vraiment question dans cette œuvre qui représente la violence sous toutes ses formes, au point d’avoir choqué ses premiers lecteurs ? «Hurlevent ne peut […] être réduit à la relation entre Heathcliff et Cathy » ; « Amputer le roman de sa deuxième partie masque la violence qui s’y déploie ». À l’image de Phoebe, nous sommes bien souvent influencés par les « livres-écrans » que nous nous sommes construits, et que Pierre Bayard, à qui cette notion est empruntée, définit comme « l’ensemble des représentations […] qui s’interposent entre le lecteur et tout nouvel écrit ». (Jean-Patrick Géraud) (Translation)
