i absolutely loved this. their story itself is amazing, and the acting was stellar. their earnestness and forbearance, in the face of such limited choices for women at that time, is remarkable and moving. the only criticism i have is the prominent role of their brother branwell, in this telling of their story. while i know how much their lives were affected by his overwhelming personal problems, it was focused on way too heavily here, it distracted from the story about THE BRONTE SISTERS. i wanted more of their life story and wish this had been a mini-series-at least maybe a 2 part movie. then maybe it would have been okay to feature so much of his story. but in this short format, it sometimes seemed like the girls story was almost an aside. even with that, i still loved this movie.
