"I first read this in school as a teenager where everyone in class had to read out three paragraphs and then it moved on to the next student. The experience always stuck with me, as did the Brontë sisters — strong women of that time who had to hide behind a pseudonym. I always love their words."

"Read while directing Anne in Canada. A book that begins with two spirited sisters and a forward-thinking mother in a Mennonite community was always going to be irresistible to me. That it also encompasses musical prodigy, the prospect of assisted suicide, and the forthright, self-deprecation of its flawed and funny lead character made it even more so."

King Will
A decent film about how the Father of the William's sisters set about a plan to make them the top tennis players in the world. A good insight without being too intriguing. Surprised it only covers up to Venus first pro final at the age of 14. You can see why Will Smith got the Oscar.
