A Quiet Passion

A Quiet Passion (Terence Davies, 2016) is the story of Emily Dickinson, played beautifully in adulthood by Cynthia Nixon. The film ably discusses her views on gender and religion, which at the very least were progressive. She paid prices for her talent and her creative output which sometimes put her at odds with those around her. Davies is as meticulous as ever in his output, paying great attention to music as much as anything else.
