Cynthia Nixon delivers a triumphant performance as Emily Dickinson, personifying the biting wit and staunch independence of the great American poet, who would not be recognized until after her death. Revered British director Terence Davies exquisitely evokes the manners, mores and spiritual convictions of the period with which Dickinson struggled before finding transcendence in her poetry.
