The three sisters all the literature lovers should know.
I was not excited to see it, because I have had no idea about whose biopic was this. I did not bother to know everything before giving it a try. One of the reason was, I usually enjoy most of the BBC films. I knew it was a period drama and about some famous writers. So, when I saw the very first scene, as kids running around with flames on their heads, I thought it would be some kind of a fantasy film. That was that, in the next minute, it became a different film. For a tale like this, it was a great opening scene. A perfect clue for the viewers what’s coming in the latter part of the story.Those four kids are the siblings and the story takes place in the mid 19th century England. Revolves around the Bronte family living in a small town, majorly focused on the three sisters in the span of three years, the most important years of their lives. Motherless children, grown to adulthood, they struggle to keep the family name honourly in the community. Their only hope is their brother who supposed to be a successful writer is now at worst as his doomed romance has taken him down with.
As I know those eras were, particularly the women, it’s about marrying at the young age and settling down with the husband. I don’t know the actual reason why those sisters remained unmarried, but I have a couple of perspective in my mind, that might be inappropriate to say out, yet the film kind of breaks the stereotype of women of those times. I blame their father, as well as their brother, but still these sisters are one of the greatest historic figures I’ve come to learn about.
It’s the time the three sisters to make some quick decisions. At the beginning, it stumbles upon them, but very soon they overcome and takes the responsibility since they are very enthusiast in the literature work. At present, we’re witnessing the rise of voice against the gender inequality in society all over the world in all the fields. Even the last week, Elizabeth Banks falsely accused the Steven Spielberg for the same reason. In this film, it was not exactly a fight or protest against such discrimination in society. Though their contribution, their achievement was the beginning of the new path for women of those eras and onwards.
They took paper and pen, and began to express the reality of the society in words rather to focus on the trend in literature subjects. Then came the publication. Even newbie men would struggle on that phase. It was one of the best juncture in this storytelling. Their struggle is not merely to turn their work into a book, but the family, especially their brother who was drifting away from everything posed a great challenge to them to look after him. And so their aging father.
When the film enters the third act, there are more twist and turns in the tale. Throughout, there were lots of ups and downs in the narration. Suddenly there comes an interesting scene and then for next 5-10 minutes falls back with a casual life event. Great screenplay and dialogues. The music was even better and suitable to the tale. The locations were beautiful, especially if you love chilly English weather and the countryside hilly views. One of the best depiction of the 19th century in a film. A special awards should be given to the set decoration. After watching the film, I browsed about that on the net and I stunned. The production quality was a genius, particularly for a television film.
Amazing casting. I should praise the director who also wrote for it. He’s originally a writer who worked with some great television shows, and now this is his first film directional debut. One of the scenes about the original identity at close to the end of the film was really a goosebump part. It all depends how you yourself dissolve in the narration. I thought it was too short, even though it ran for two hours. That’s why I wished it should have been a television series, to I stay with it for a little longer.
A perfect title, I loved everything about the film. The costumes were simple, but very good. And the film was very emotional at the end, to learn what happened to those three sisters. The filmmakers avoided that sentimental part, but I would have liked if they had covered them visually than the texts. Then it would have been one of the best tearjerker and then more family audiences would have jumped in to watch.
Sometimes, it’s very satisfying to learn about how those masterpieces were made than reading and watching those masterpiece books and films respectively. Now it’s in the line of ‘Finding Nevreland’, ‘Saving Mr. Banks’ and a few others that revealed the truth behind the great works. My only disappointment was, it should have been either a theatrical film or a television series. No offense, all the actors were so awesome in this film. Those three sisters stole the show. It was a powerful performance I’ve seen in the recent time. But a big screen film with popular stars would help reach the product widely.
This is now one of my favourite films of all time. We watch films often, but some people occasionally, even though we won’t end up watching masterpiece all the time. It’s a rare thing and this is one them. If you are interested in literature, biography, history or seeking an inspiration, this is the film to go for. Since I watched it, I could not take off the memories of the film and focus on other things. Really, it made my day and the whole week. So it’s a two thumbs up high in the air from me. Highly recommended.

I Didn’t Want it to End
At last, after many months of waiting, I have finally seen what I knew would be an astronomical improvement over the embarrassing Les Soeurs Brontë (see my review of that for details)! Now, it’s pitifully easy to make a better biopic than Les Soeurs, so we should approach To Walk Invisible by comparing it directly to the history.I had a feeling this film would excise the Belgium era of Charlotte and Emily’s lives completely, and it did. (Monsieur Héger isn’t even shown!) Many juicy incidents from before and after this film takes place are excised, but the narrower focus prevents the pacing issues Les Soeurs had. Besides, no one recounted Charlotte’s earlier life better than Charlotte herself. I have a feeling Ms. Wainwright knows that. The storytelling choices of this film only call attention to the need for a Villette adaptation (Villette was largely inspired by Charlotte’s time in Brussels.) Ms. Wainwright, you know what to do!
Truth be told, I still am not very interested in watching Branwell’s descent into nothingness, but I guess it should be there if it was so devastating to the sisters. The greatest joy of this film is the clear extreme love the people making it have for the subject matter. Anyone intimately familiar with the Brontë mythos will recognize little historical details woven into the background and dialogue, such as the “Gun Portrait” hanging in the house. The most amusing of these is Arthur Bell Nichols, a minor character in this but Charlotte’s eventual husband. I can tell they cast a noticeably handsome actor in that part so we wouldn’t imagine Charlotte making whoopee with an unattractive man after all she suffered.
Another great strength of the film is the way it looks. Both the cinematography and the 21st- century matte paintings convey the majesty and bleak beauty of the Yorkshire landscape. And, as with all good period pieces, I coveted the sister’s costumes. While we’re on the subject of looks, I was pleased that Anne was the only conventionally pretty sister.
My one big issue is the final scene, where we see the house as it is today. I’d wanted to save the surprises of Haworth for when I went there myself!
The acting and directing were such that I was not conscious of there being actors separate from the historical figures. I was not bored at any point. If there is a better way to relay the story of the sisters’ ascent to greatness, I can’t think of one. Brava, Sally Wainwright!
