Wild Nights with Emily Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
It's respectful, but it's also alive. It's serious, but it's also tongue-in-cheek. Olnek's approach gives Emily room to breathe. At last.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Beneath the japery and rough-edged filmmaking is an abiding love for the work - its passion and resilience - and respect for the women whose hidden lifelong language that work may have been.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Wild Nights accomplishes reconciliation by showing the disparity between Dickinson's public and private selves.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
At the heart of Wild Nights with Emily is a real love for Dickinson's work and an attempt to properly re-contextualize her story. That, in itself, is noble.
Washington Post
Pat Padua
"Wild Nights" goes too far at times, threatening to reduce the writer's life to the punchline of a literary version of Rodney Dangerfield: She got no respect.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
While the style of the movie works against the seriousness of that message just a bit, it still gets through.
Variety
Amy Nicholson
If the film has a flaw, its that it's so preoccupied with balancing its furious feminism with gags about Victorian life that there's little running time to lavish on Dickinson's actual poetry.
indieWire
Jude Dry
Wild Nights With Emily may be Olnek's most political film to date, one that could forever change the narrative of the world's most famous woman poet.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
The film, for all its archness and theatricality, is essentially a warm and welcome love story of two people, navigating a world that really doesn't know what to do with them.
The Playlist
Kimber Myers
Wild Nights with Emily feels at once revelatory and a total delight, a surprise for both for literature geeks and those who didn't do their required reading in school.
Slant Magazine
Pat Brown
The film's playful tone is a corrective to a century of scholarship that insisted on projecting the image of a moody spinster onto Emily Dickinson.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
The supporting cast excels, with Amy Seimetz, Brett Gelman, Jackie Monahan, and Kevin Seal making the most of the well-tuned dialogue.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Christy Lemire
There is a lot of truth to what we are seeing, but it is presented in a sly, deadpan way that is always amusing.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
Like the remarkable poet at its center, Wild Nights with Emily is playful, clever, and alive.
New York Times
Teo Bugbee
This is an irreverent film, but its lightness is meaningful. With each silly flourish, Olnek offers joy and companionship to a figure whose history was more conveniently presented to generations of readers as solitary.
TheWrap
April Wolfe
With a tone evocative of Drunk History, the film approaches storytelling with a whimsical air, where period authenticity of every object and costume isn't necessarily the focus.
Autostraddle
Heather Hogan
If someone found a way to use alien tech to scan my brain and create exactly the movie I've been waiting to see my entire life, this would be it.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
However well or poorly it matches the truth of Dickinson's life, the film's vision of her long relationship with Susan is warmly funny.
Film Inquiry
Mark McPherson
There's a refreshing nature to how Olnek gives Dickinson a certain dignity while embracing her truths that were buried in her work.
Phoenix Magazine
M.V. Moorhead
Even with the revelations about Dickinson's affairs, of course, it's hard to say whether her private life was truly this jolly. But the movie makes you hope it was.
