Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

SnoopyStyle This is a biopic of American poet Emily Dickinson starting from her school girl (Emma Bell) days alone challenging the religious dogma of the teachers. She (Cynthia Nixon) and her sister Lavinia (Jennifer Ehle) are permitted by their father (Keith Carradine) to be free-thinking. He allows her to write her poems. During the Civil War and despite the family's anti-slavery sentiments, her father does not permit her brother Austin to fight. As they grow older, Emily becomes bitter and suffering from seizures. Her writing is unrecognized for the most part until after her death.It's an interesting character study although it does not intrigue as a narrative. She's one way and does not change over time. It's mostly intellectual with moments of highly charged anger. There may be a better way into the character if the movie concentrated on one romantic love or the lack thereof. There are side characters who come in with that potential. The movie needs to zero on one of them. This is good for the art house but not for the general audience.

Reno Rangan I don't know what did everybody expected from it, but I thought it was good. It is a biopic and you can't anticipate a film to alter for your comfort. Not all the films based on the real person are one hundred per cent exact depiction. Recreation is impossible, but getting somewhere close to it what this film did like many others. Because you won't able to cover thousands of hours of a person's life in just 120 minutes. The director did his part finely and so the actors.Periodic flick means we expect fancy costumes. This film had started like one, but faded away quickly, once the story started to get serious. After graduating from the school, the young Emily Dickinson decides to write poetries and she succeeds too. But she's not a person of god as her family or the society she's living in. Then she meets another young woman like her. Soon everybody around her starts to get disappear as the phase of life moving on, so she loses all the company. How her rest of the life happens were revealed on the remaining part.Despite both the versions of Emily were good, it also became the weakness of the film. They should have went for one actor with make- up option. I liked first half and the second half, but it looked two different films with two different actors. Setting in the 19th century, the struggles of women is what it highlighted. Most of the film took place in the Emily's house. Being a true story, it is worthy film. But not everybody would enjoy it. Because that's not how Emily Dickinson lived. I meant to get cheers from the today's audience for her film.7/10

Andres-Camara It is a movie that has all the points to be a good movie, however, does not become a good movie, because none of those points gets to be well finished. It is also a film, too arrogant, that uses too many fancy phrases which makes me leave the film. I do not think that to look like an intellectual, you have to use that language.The tempo of the movie is too slow. It was not necessary and causes the viewer to be bored. He tries to make a poetic and adult film and abuses that time too many times.There is a moment when he takes the pictures, which is very good. It is a way to raise the aging of the family, but equally, to have made a photo would have been enough, it is not necessary to take photos of all, since you have already told and you are sleeping to the viewer.Cynthia Nixon, plays a formidable role, gets you to believe everything that happens to her, even illness and that is very difficult. The bad thing and I imagine that it will be, because its real personage was like this, is that being a woman so feminist that it looked for the freedom in his life and the equality with the men, thing of admiring, I do not understand why it was constantly like the others lived their life. As the movie progresses, I get worse and worse and that at first, I was completely in agreement with her. The other actors are formidable too, is the strength of this film. Even Keith Carradine and that's hard to believe in the wig they have put.The make-up and the costumes are very good except the father, who gets me much of the film.The constant voice-over of the poems is something else that I do not like at all. They make the movie slower and I do not think they are necessary.The photograph, which is almost always impressive, I think is very confused, I explain, I think this film is extremely sad, other than the director can make it cold for the viewer or at least distant and deserved a sad and cold picture and however do not marvel with a warm and friendly photograph.The manager, I think he is wrong in everything. The planes are ugly, they are all badly composed, the camera movements are empty. It seems that the actors went to shoot alone because it is a succession of close-ups, as if they were alone and that gets me a lot of the film. In addition he is wrong in the tempo and the length of the film that is too long.Of course the final sequence, I think is left, we have already learned what has happened. And above it has a whitish and warm photograph, at that moment.

tm-sheehan How she suffered for her Art-Cynthia Nixon is superb in the role portraying Emily Dickinson and Jennifer Ehle as her loving sister is tender and supportive in the role.A bleak film written and directed by Terence Davies but I thought though at times beautiful would have been more balanced if he had shown less suffering and more of the joyful influences that inspired her poetry i doubt her life was all despair and angst, perhaps it says more about Terence Davies than Emily Dickinson. After seeing both actresses in plays on Broadway a few weeks ago it was fascinating seeing them both together acting beautifully on film.
