Emma Mackey Is Getting Raves for 'Emily' Movie After TIFF Premiere!

Emma Mackey is getting rave reviews for her work in the new movie Emily, which just premiered at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival.

The 26-year-old actress, best known for the series Sex Education, walked the carpet at the premiere on Friday night (September 9) at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto, Canada.

Emma was joined by co-stars Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Alexandra Dowling, Amelia Gething, and Adrian Dunbar, as well as director Frances O’Connor. The film tells the story of “Wuthering Heights” author Emily Brontë and her arduous journey toward realizing her vocation.

THR says that Emma “commands the screen, confidently shepherding us through Emily’s mercurial moods. Her eyes — darting nervously at one moment, squinting suspiciously at another — tells us what dialogue can’t.” IndieWire says that she gives a “beautiful performance” and that her casting was a “brilliant idea.”

FYI: Emma is wearing a Prada dress and shoes.
