Quiet Passion, A

Quiet Passion, A

Cynthia Nixon delivers a triumphant performance as Emily Dickinson, personifying the wit, pathos and spiritual independence of the great American poet, whose genius would not be recognized until after her death. Masterfully written and directed by revered British filmmaker Terrence Davis (The House of Mirth), A Quiet Passion exquisitely evokes and proud patriarch father (Keith Carradine), along with the manners, mores and religious convictions of the time which she wrestled with before finding transcendence in her poetry.
