Missed opportunity
Beautiful locations and great acting but the sound track was silly. There were several times when the story would be shown happening without dialog and instead an annoying cello on drugs would dominate the sound track. No sense in having dialog in a story about an author. The female lead, Emma Mackey, was engaging. It would have been better as a period piece without the Bronte connection since hardly anything in it was accurate and Emily Bronte's book was just an after thought. It was frustrating to watch because I kept wondering, Is this true? I finally paused it and did the research only to find out, No it's not true. To portray her as an opium user without any proof is really in poor taste. She deserves better.
