She speaks softly, spooking her siblings, Charlotte (Alexandra Dowling), Anne (Amelia Gething), and Branwell (Fionn Whitehead). She’s supposed to choose someone fun to perform as-say, Marie Antoinette-but instead, she channels her late mother. Take an early scene, during which Emily (played by Sex Education’s Emma Mackey) puts on a mask for a role-playing guessing game. In Emily, a new film about her life in theaters Friday, her difficult personality manifests as a near-paranormal force. She’s a literary oddity, a creature whose reserved disposition seemed to belie a wildly inventive imagination. Her equally tempestuous and aloof reputation left her friendless, and the novel Wuthering Heights-her bold, brutal masterpiece-incensed some readers while enthralling others.
She was reportedly jovial around her siblings but disagreeable and timid around anyone else. Of the Brontë sisters, Emily has long been considered the most vexing.
