Acclaimed British director Terence Davies presents a beautiful biopic about the ground-breaking American poet, Emily Dickinson (Cynthia Nixon).
Following her from youth through to adulthood, A Quiet Passion demonstrates Dickinson’s wit, intelligence and deep connection to her family, but also how at odds she felt with the expectations bestowed on her by society and religion, and how this translated into her poetry.
As her life is touched by tragedy and her frustration grows at her lack of recognition, we see how loneliness and reclusiveness begin to dominate Dickinson’s life.
