SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Its patient, sensuous attention to women making art and finding a private language of desire echoes Wild Nights with Emily’s reclamation of queer feeling from historical silence.
02
Why this pick
Another Emily Dickinson portrait, rendered as an intimate, formally poetic study of her wit, family life, and artistic determination; it is considerably more solemn than Madeleine Olnek’s version.
03
Why this pick
For the sharp, anachronistic comic bite and women-centered period irreverence: its stylized court power games share Wild Nights with Emily’s delight in puncturing respectable history.
04
Why this pick
A tender period romance in which social expectations constrain two women’s connection, offering a similarly compassionate recovery of queer lives obscured by convention.
05
Why this pick
Its dry humor and clear-eyed tenderness refuse shame-based narratives about queer young women, making it a modern counterpart to Wild Nights with Emily’s corrective spirit.

01 / THE STORY
A dramatic comedy about Emily Dickinson's life as a writer, her attempts to get published, and her vivacious, irreverent side that was covered up for years — most notably, her lifelong romantic relationship with another woman — dispelling the myth that she was an unloved recluse once and for all.
