it matches the truth of Emily's life, the film's vision of her long relationship with Susan is warmly funny; Shannon and Susan Ziegler (as Susan) make good conspirators, especially at the comedy's more subdued moments.
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
hilarious, Molly Shannon is brilliant; a surprisingly touching love story; 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
hilarious and fun; this is one of the best comedies I've seen all year; Molly Shannon and Susan Ziegler have a delightful chemistry. Madeleine Olnek has not only placed another feminist comedy feather in her cap, she shows how a biopic should be done
