To Walk Invisible: A Review Rating: 5/5 Thoughts: WOW. This movie was simply spectacular. Directed by Sally Wainwright, it's a 2 hour long biopic that involves the Bronte sisters: Anne, Charlotte, and Emily. There's also a subplot to the story involving their brother, Branwell Bronte. The movie details the Bronte siblings life and struggles in their household, plus takes the time to talk about their novels and how they became bestsellers. It also takes time to focus on important topics that they're facing: Alcoholism, Gender, Feminism, Sibling Issues, Family Issues, and of course, their writing. The Bronte Siblings wrote to escape from their troubles, or rather, incorporate their troubles and issues by putting them onto the page. They wrote under male pseudonyms as Acton, Ellis, and Currer Bell. As Emily stated: “When a man writes something, it’s what he’s written that’s judged. When a woman writes something, it’s her that’s judged." And hence why, in the title, they had to Walk Invisble under these male names, and they ended up becoming a hit success. The cinematography for this film is absolutely breathtaking, and the music is gorgeous and adds to the breathtaking scenery. There's also beautiful voiceovers from either the Bronte siblings own books, or purple prose monologue. Overall, I definitely enjoyed this movie and would watch it again one of these days. Now, you're probably wondering: Have I read a book from the Bronte siblings yet? Surprisingly, I actually have NOT. I have each of the Bronte siblings books stored onto my phone via PDF. Being "Jane Eyre", "Agnes Grey", and "Wuthering Heights", but I still have yet to read them. I'll start reading either of their works soon and do a review on it here, so keep an eye out for it.
