A disturbing, yet only portrayal of the life and death of Emily Dickinson. Cynthia Nixon is intense and hands in a tremendously moving performance. The special featurettes on the DVD tell you so much about the movie's writers, producers, and actors. I wish there were other movies (perhaps a BBC?) about her life. A must see, but might not be a must-include in every library. I got it for mine! Not sorry!

The actors are first rate, the direction is superb -- subtle, brilliant -- the best rendition of the achievement of America's greatest 19th century poet ever.

This is a beautiful and poetic movie, and the struggles of domestic life it portrays are highly credible... People who gave it negative feedback possibly forget that there is no reciprocity between the aesthetic quality of a poem and the author's character : an artist isn't required to be an angel in order to be a genius...
