Emma Mackey is getting rave reviews for her work in the new movie Emily, which just premiered at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival.
The 26-year-old actress, best known for the series Sex Education, walked the carpet at the premiere on Friday night (September 9) at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto, Canada.
Emma was joined by co-stars Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Alexandra Dowling, Amelia Gething, and Adrian Dunbar, as well as director Frances O’Connor. The film tells the story of “Wuthering Heights” author Emily Brontë and her arduous journey toward realizing her vocation.
THR says that Emma “commands the screen, confidently shepherding us through Emily’s mercurial moods. Her eyes — darting nervously at one moment, squinting suspiciously at another — tells us what dialogue can’t.” IndieWire says that she gives a “beautiful performance” and that her casting was a “brilliant idea.”
FYI: Emma is wearing a Prada dress and shoes.

Broadcaster Eamonn Holmes has sparked concern as he continues to suffer from chronic pain.The 62 year old GB news presenter opened up about his struggles on Twitter Tuesday morning and offered a channel for sufferers to talk about their emotional pain. “Hello, all my #ChronicPain sufferers...

Zara and Mike Tindall's daughter Mia provided some light relief from the solemnity of today after she hopscotched after the Queen's committal service in Windsor. The eight year old held on to her parents' hands as she did the sweet child's game, dressed in a black dress with a matching headband.
Jessica Kiang There are no flirtations with the fourth wall in Frances O’Connor’s “Emily.” There is no synthpop on the soundtrack. No one ranks the relative attractiveness of the Brontë sisters on a scale out of 10, or attempts, bustle be damned, to twerk. Yet despite lacking all markers of the recent trend for girlbossified costume drama, the directorial debut from O’Connor — an actor who is no stranger to corsetry herself after “Mansfield Park” and “The Importance of Being Earnest” — gives us a strikingly current take on the Brontë behind “Wuthering Heights.” Unlike many a literary biopic, it feels anything but pagebound. If “Emily” were a book, however, it would be a fresh reissue of a Penguin Classic, with its timeless orange cover unobtrusively updated to be crisp and covetable all over again.
"Sex Education" star Emma Mackey has spoken out about people comparing her to fellow actress Margot Robbie and has revealed she doesn't think she looks "anything like" the Australian star. Fans have long been claiming the pair are indistinguishable and, we have to admit, we do see the resemblance. Plus, both are set to star in Greta Gerwig's upcoming "Barbie" film, and some have speculated that they'll both be playing a version of the titular doll due to their similar appearance.

Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent Pathé, which operates France’s leading cinema circuit, is planning to enter the Paris stock exchange in 2024, Variety has confirmed. The company’s president, Jérôme Seydoux, revealed the group’s long-gestated listing project in an interview with the French publication Les Echos. Seydoux said the company suffered a loss of approximately €100 million during the financial years 2020 and 2021, mainly due to the fact that theaters in France were shut down for a total of 300 days during the pandemic. While it ruffled feathers by selling “Coda” to Apple at Sundance in 2021 in a splashy $25 million deal, the company was one of the rare French studios which maintained its release plans for major local productions during the health crisis, for instance Martin Bourboulon’s “Eiffel” with Romain Duris and Emma Mackey, and Jean-Jacques Annaud’s “Notre Dame on Fire.”
