From acclaimed filmmaker Terence Davies, 'A Quiet Passion' is a powerful study of 19th Century poet Emily Dickinson, featuring a compassionate central performance from Cynthia Nixon. Spanning a rebellious schoolgirl youth to her later years as a reclusive writer, penning deeply personal verses that were rarely published, Davies’ elegant biopic vividly explores the hopes, dreams and desires of a woman whose brilliance was only posthumously recognised. While virtually unknown in her lifetime, Dickinson is considered to have written some of the most important poems in American literature, leaving behind a legacy of stunning, astute work that still resonates deeply today, and which Davies sensitively commemorates. ★★★★ "Profound" - Simran Hans, The Observer ★★★★★ "A masterpiece of mood" - Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent
