To fully appreciate this sly film, I think you have to like Emily Dickinson’s poetry and be intrigued by the poet herself, and you also need to know quite a lot about Emily Dickinson’s life and especially about the times in which she lived. That said, this film is a fun “riff” on all things Emily Dickinson, and I would have to agree that it is also smart about how woman writers were treated then and are still treated today. I have loved Emily Dickinson’s poetry since grammar school and I know quite a lot about it and her life – and I suspect a lot of other women do too. To like this film, I don’t think you need to know all this, but to get ALL the jokes, you definitely have to. Expand

I liked that lines of Emily's poetry is displayed on screen. The relationship between Emily and Susan puts things in context. it is somewhat thought provoking, though I believe it isn't intended to be an entirely accurate/faithful period film but that didn't bother me - the themes are well conveyed. I enjoyed the piano pieces played throughout that feature in the background but don't make it difficult to hear the dialogue, thankfully. I enjoyed this film and would certainly recommend it to others, yes. Expand
