Fennell\u2019s movies are known to piss people off. Both <\/span><em><span>A Promising Young Woman<\/span><\/em><span> and <\/span><em><span>Saltburn<\/span><\/em><span> resulted in fiery, divisive discourse, with her critics labelling the British director as having the \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/dr_kai_phd\/status\/2022995965700112666?s=46\"><span>worst filmography ever<\/span><\/a><span>\u201d. At Dazed, many of us had high hopes for her adaptation of the 1847 novel. <\/span><em><span>Saltburn<\/span><\/em><span> may have been a film of \u201cstyle and no substance\u201d, as Patrick Sproull wrote in their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/film-tv\/article\/61407\/1\/saltburn-can-wealthy-people-write-good-class-satire-eat-the-rich-emerald-fennell\"><span>review<\/span><\/a><span>, but at least it was fun! We hoped the same for <\/span><em><span>\u201cWuthering Heights\u201d<\/span><\/em><span> \u2013 and were mostly left disappointed. Unlike the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/music\/article\/62833\/1\/charli-xcx-s-brat-discourse-has-divided-the-dazed-team\"><em><span>Brat<\/span><\/em><\/a><span> roundtable that divided us, <\/span><em><span>\u201cWuthering Heights\u201d<\/span><\/em><span> brought us back together again (for the most part). Below, our team shares their thoughts on the romantic period drama.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>HALIMA JIBRIL, CULTURE EDITOR: <\/strong><span>There were many points while watching <\/span><em><span>\u201cWuthering Heights\u201d<\/span><\/em><span> when I tapped on my imaginary watch and asked my friends, \u201cWhen is this shit gonna end?!\u201d To be fair, I did take an edible, which is maybe why it felt like forever, but the movie is also low-key garbage (and two hours and 16 minutes long), which is probably the main reason it felt like I was gonna <\/span><em><span>wuther<\/span><\/em><span> away and die. The costuming felt offensive, along with much of the set design. Justice for the Yorkshire moors, y\u2019all deserved better!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I saw the film in a full cinema at the Barbican on release day, and, to Fennell\u2019s credit, I had the time of my life with a very energised crowd. But I did find that people were laughing at parts that were meant to be romantic and\/or devastating \u2013 especially when Elordi yells at the end, \u201cSomeone get da bloody docta!\u201d (I\u2019m paraphrasing.) But, while I felt mostly negative towards the film, there were moments where my heart did swoon. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/jacob-elordi\">Jacob Elordi<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/margot-robbie\">Margot Robbie<\/a> didn\u2019t have great chemistry (and Robbie was cast poorly imo), but when it was good, it was really good. At the end of the day, I love a love story filled with desperation, and I did shed a tear or two or five at the end. But unfortunately, the bad outweighed the good. Also, every time I heard <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/charli-xcx\"><span>Charli xcx<\/span><\/a><span>\u2019s autotuned voice, I laughed, which I\u2019m sure was not its intended effect. \ud83e\udd72<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"src-youtube video-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-youtube\" data-id=\"3fLCdIYShEQ\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen frameborder height=\"422\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3fLCdIYShEQ\" webkitallowfullscreen width=\"750\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>DOMINIQUE SISLEY, EDITORIAL DIRECTOR: <\/strong><span>I don\u2019t care about sticking to the source material. I\u2019m not a snob about that. As long as you capture its essence, or spirit, there are lots of wacky choices you can make. The problem with<\/span><em><span> \u201cWuthering Heights\u201d <\/span><\/em><span>is that it is such a powerful, distinctive story: it\u2019s about two wild and vindictive people, bound by the same soul, whose love leads to their mutual destruction and ravages everyone around them. It\u2019s about the nature of toxic love, and the intergenerational rot caused by decades of displaced anger. Sadly, Fennell\u2019s depiction strips all this out, bleaching out the darkness with it. Her version is a swoon-worthy romance, promoted in partnership with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DUrBGBzgSsG\/?img_index=2\"><span>Doritos<\/span><\/a><span>, whose sole goal is to draw as much attention as possible. It\u2019s got all the subtlety of a school pantomime: we see a sunny 35-year-old Robbie \u2013 cast because of her mega-watt star power \u2013 playing a 16-year-old virgin, hammily reading lines that could only have been lifted from a pre-teen\u2019s Wattpad account. And look, Elordi is sexy! I want him to fervently pursue me on a horse! But it\u2019s slop, sorry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>HABI DIALLO, BRANDED CONTENT EDITOR: <\/strong><span>W<\/span><span>hen I left the cinema I felt\u2026 nothing. There were moments I enjoyed \u2013 Cathy and Isabella\u2019s dynamic felt closer to depicting how truly cruel and complex Cathy was. But the chemistry between her and Heathcliff did not feel believable. When the trailer came out last year, I thought the toxic passion between the two main protagonists might actually translate well, but in reality, there were very few moments where I felt engrossed in their dynamic. I wanted to feel tension so undeniable that I had to catch my breath. Elordi did make me swoon, but at no point did I think I\u2019m so inspired by how much they hate to love each other, I need to reach out to anyone I hate to love.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I\u2019ve seen a lot of people compare the film to Baz Luhrmann\u2019s <\/span><em><span>Romeo and Juliet<\/span><\/em><span> adaptation, but other than the fact that both films are modern takes on classic literature, there are no similarities. The beauty of having a text with so much material is that there are almost infinite numbers of ways you can interpret different moments, either to honour or challenge the original work. I\u2019m not sure if, in 30 years, this film will hold up in the same way R&amp;J has.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"src-youtube video-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-youtube\" data-id=\"JVA0VmxAy-s\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen frameborder height=\"422\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JVA0VmxAy-s\" webkitallowfullscreen width=\"750\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>THOM WAITE, SENIOR WRITER: <\/strong><span>Hot take: film adaptations have zero responsibility to be faithful to the source text. There have been versions of <\/span><em><span>Wuthering Heights <\/span><\/em><span>released in 1920, 1939, 1967, 1992, 2009, 2011, and now 2026 \u2013 why would we want to see the exact same story, told the same way, over and over again? <\/span><span>Lots of the best adaptations make the most of their cultural context to tell the story a different way, and let us experience things we couldn\u2019t have in the past. Including Charli xcx needle-drops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This might sound like a defence of Fennell\u2019s film, but it\u2019s not. Coming from a filmmaker who claims to push the boundaries of what\u2019s acceptable on our screens today, Fennell\u2019s \u201c<\/span><em><span>Wuthering Heights\u201d <\/span><\/em><span>is so full of half-measures in both its style and content \u2013 maybe to preserve its 15 rating and rake in more ticket sales? \u2013 that it barely registers above an episode of <\/span><em><span>Bridgerton<\/span><\/em><span> on the scandal scale. In the end, it\u2019s far less radical than the 1847 novel would have been in its day, and for <\/span><em><span>that <\/span><\/em><span>reason it doesn\u2019t do the source material justice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>JAMES GREIG, FEATURES EDITOR: <\/strong><span>Winston Churchill once said, \u201cIf a man gives Emerald Fennell\u2019s <\/span><em><span>Wuthering Heights<\/span><\/em><span> one star on Letterboxd, he has no heart. But if he gives it five stars, he has no head.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I was reminded of this adage on Friday when I went to see <\/span><em><span>\u201cWuthering Heights\u201d<\/span><\/em><span>, a film that was neither as brilliant nor terrible as some early reviews had suggested. To be sure, there\u2019s a lot wrong with it. While so badly miscast that it\u2019s not really her fault, Robbie is awful \u2013 particularly in the earlier scenes when she\u2019s playing Cathy like a petulant, simpering 14-year-old prefect. For all its attempts at transgression and \u201cthis ain\u2019t your grandma\u2019s <\/span><em><span>Wuthering Heights<\/span><\/em><span>\u201d posturing, it\u2019s a fairly sanitised version of Bront\u00eb\u2019s novel, especially in its decision to reimagine Heathcliff\u2019s abuse of Isabella as a consensual BDSM relationship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But on the plus side, I\u2019d be lying if I said I didn\u2019t have a good time. I enjoyed the ridiculous, ahistorical costume and set design, and for the most part thought the film looked good \u2013 Fennell\u2019s visual style is garish but fun. As far as acting goes, Martin Clunes and Hong Chau are the MVPs. But the film\u2019s biggest saving grace is the Charli xcx soundtrack; I\u2019ve always loved Charli in angsty power-ballad mode and I think it\u2019s one of her best ever albums.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"src-youtube video-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-youtube\" data-id=\"tG1HKY6Jwas\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen frameborder height=\"422\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tG1HKY6Jwas\" webkitallowfullscreen width=\"750\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>EMILY DINSDALE, ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR: <\/strong><span>I enjoyed <\/span><em><span>\u201cWuthering Heights\u201d<\/span><\/em><span>, but doing so required me to consciously disengage my critical faculties as I took my seat in the cinema. I knew it was going to be a very silly film, but I permitted myself not to care. A few of the costumes made me laugh out loud, and the whole thing felt almost entirely stitched together from references to other movies (notably <em>Barry Lyndon<\/em>, Bram Stoker\u2019s <em>Dracula<\/em>, <em>Marie Antoinette<\/em> and <em>Gone With the Wind<\/em>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>My main point of contention has been with some of the marketing suggesting this version is more shocking than the book. <\/span><span>Robbie has recently been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TheCinesthetic\/status\/2020533305515655529?s=20\"><span>quoted<\/span><\/a><span> as saying, \u201cThere is actually not much kissing in the book, but we kiss a lot in the movie. We kiss everywhere.\u201d In the novel, Heathcliff has Cathy\u2019s body exhumed long after her death on two occasions so he can see her face. He defaces her coffin so that when he dies, their decomposing bodies will coalesce in the earth. <\/span><span>Getting off with each other more than Emily Bront\u00eb explicitly describes seems a bit trivial compared to a desire so consuming that you can\u2019t be happy until your mortal remains have intermingled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I agree with nearly all of the criticisms I\u2019ve heard levelled at Fennell\u2019s film and I wouldn\u2019t stir a muscle to defend it \u2013 it\u2019s hollow, Robbie is badly cast, it seems to misunderstand the source material, and it was definitely 20 minutes too long. But Elordi is really sexy and I still managed to take pleasure in the ridiculous spectacle of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>SOLOMON PACE-MCCARRICK, MUSIC WRITER: <\/strong><\/span>On our way to the cinema, my girlfriend and I decided to create bingo cards out of our predictions for Fennell\u2019s \u201c<em>Wuthering Heights\u201d<\/em>. Now, I wasn\u2019t familiar with the source material at all, but the accuracy with which we were able to guess the new adaptation\u2019s hammiest moments speaks volumes. I got one point for \u2018barn sex\u2019, half a point for \u2018sensually churning butter\u2019 (they were actually seductively kneading bread) and two points for \u2018emotional horse riding to the sounds of Charli xcx\u2019. Meanwhile, my girlfriend got points for: \u2018voyeurism\u2019, \u2018slapping\u2019, \u2018bodice-ripping\u2019, \u2018orientalism\u2019 and \u2018a weird chess metaphor\u2019. The script might read like Mumsnet fan-fiction \u2013 which, coincidentally, serves Heathcliff very well, because he says nothing at all for the majority of the film \u2013 but it was a great Valentine\u2019s weekend activity. I\u2019ll look back on \u201c<em>Wuthering Heights\u201d <\/em>fondly (and hope I never have to watch it again).\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!

Fennell\u2019s movies are known to piss people off. Both <\/span><em><span>A Promising Young Woman<\/span><\/em><span> and <\/span><em><span>Saltburn<\/span><\/em><span> resulted in fiery, divisive discourse, with her critics labelling the British director as having the \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/dr_kai_phd\/status\/2022995965700112666?s=46\"><span>worst filmography ever<\/span><\/a><span>\u201d. At Dazed, many of us had high hopes for her adaptation of the 1847 novel. <\/span><em><span>Saltburn<\/span><\/em><span> may have been a film of \u201cstyle and no substance\u201d, as Patrick Sproull wrote in their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/film-tv\/article\/61407\/1\/saltburn-can-wealthy-people-write-good-class-satire-eat-the-rich-emerald-fennell\"><span>review<\/span><\/a><span>, but at least it was fun! We hoped the same for <\/span><em><span>\u201cWuthering Heights\u201d<\/span><\/em><span> \u2013 and were mostly left disappointed. Unlike the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/music\/article\/62833\/1\/charli-xcx-s-brat-discourse-has-divided-the-dazed-team\"><em><span>Brat<\/span><\/em><\/a><span> roundtable that divided us, <\/span><em><span>\u201cWuthering Heights\u201d<\/span><\/em><span> brought us back together again (for the most part). Below, our team shares their thoughts on the romantic period drama.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>HALIMA JIBRIL, CULTURE EDITOR: <\/strong><span>There were many points while watching <\/span><em><span>\u201cWuthering Heights\u201d<\/span><\/em><span> when I tapped on my imaginary watch and asked my friends, \u201cWhen is this shit gonna end?!\u201d To be fair, I did take an edible, which is maybe why it felt like forever, but the movie is also low-key garbage (and two hours and 16 minutes long), which is probably the main reason it felt like I was gonna <\/span><em><span>wuther<\/span><\/em><span> away and die. The costuming felt offensive, along with much of the set design. Justice for the Yorkshire moors, y\u2019all deserved better!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I saw the film in a full cinema at the Barbican on release day, and, to Fennell\u2019s credit, I had the time of my life with a very energised crowd. But I did find that people were laughing at parts that were meant to be romantic and\/or devastating \u2013 especially when Elordi yells at the end, \u201cSomeone get da bloody docta!\u201d (I\u2019m paraphrasing.) But, while I felt mostly negative towards the film, there were moments where my heart did swoon. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/jacob-elordi\">Jacob Elordi<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/margot-robbie\">Margot Robbie<\/a> didn\u2019t have great chemistry (and Robbie was cast poorly imo), but when it was good, it was really good. At the end of the day, I love a love story filled with desperation, and I did shed a tear or two or five at the end. But unfortunately, the bad outweighed the good. Also, every time I heard <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/charli-xcx\"><span>Charli xcx<\/span><\/a><span>\u2019s autotuned voice, I laughed, which I\u2019m sure was not its intended effect. \ud83e\udd72<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"src-youtube video-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-youtube\" data-id=\"3fLCdIYShEQ\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen frameborder height=\"422\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3fLCdIYShEQ\" webkitallowfullscreen width=\"750\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>DOMINIQUE SISLEY, EDITORIAL DIRECTOR: <\/strong><span>I don\u2019t care about sticking to the source material. I\u2019m not a snob about that. As long as you capture its essence, or spirit, there are lots of wacky choices you can make. The problem with<\/span><em><span> \u201cWuthering Heights\u201d <\/span><\/em><span>is that it is such a powerful, distinctive story: it\u2019s about two wild and vindictive people, bound by the same soul, whose love leads to their mutual destruction and ravages everyone around them. It\u2019s about the nature of toxic love, and the intergenerational rot caused by decades of displaced anger. Sadly, Fennell\u2019s depiction strips all this out, bleaching out the darkness with it. Her version is a swoon-worthy romance, promoted in partnership with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DUrBGBzgSsG\/?img_index=2\"><span>Doritos<\/span><\/a><span>, whose sole goal is to draw as much attention as possible. It\u2019s got all the subtlety of a school pantomime: we see a sunny 35-year-old Robbie \u2013 cast because of her mega-watt star power \u2013 playing a 16-year-old virgin, hammily reading lines that could only have been lifted from a pre-teen\u2019s Wattpad account. And look, Elordi is sexy! I want him to fervently pursue me on a horse! But it\u2019s slop, sorry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>HABI DIALLO, BRANDED CONTENT EDITOR: <\/strong><span>W<\/span><span>hen I left the cinema I felt\u2026 nothing. There were moments I enjoyed \u2013 Cathy and Isabella\u2019s dynamic felt closer to depicting how truly cruel and complex Cathy was. But the chemistry between her and Heathcliff did not feel believable. When the trailer came out last year, I thought the toxic passion between the two main protagonists might actually translate well, but in reality, there were very few moments where I felt engrossed in their dynamic. I wanted to feel tension so undeniable that I had to catch my breath. Elordi did make me swoon, but at no point did I think I\u2019m so inspired by how much they hate to love each other, I need to reach out to anyone I hate to love.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I\u2019ve seen a lot of people compare the film to Baz Luhrmann\u2019s <\/span><em><span>Romeo and Juliet<\/span><\/em><span> adaptation, but other than the fact that both films are modern takes on classic literature, there are no similarities. The beauty of having a text with so much material is that there are almost infinite numbers of ways you can interpret different moments, either to honour or challenge the original work. I\u2019m not sure if, in 30 years, this film will hold up in the same way R&amp;J has.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"src-youtube video-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-youtube\" data-id=\"JVA0VmxAy-s\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen frameborder height=\"422\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JVA0VmxAy-s\" webkitallowfullscreen width=\"750\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>THOM WAITE, SENIOR WRITER: <\/strong><span>Hot take: film adaptations have zero responsibility to be faithful to the source text. There have been versions of <\/span><em><span>Wuthering Heights <\/span><\/em><span>released in 1920, 1939, 1967, 1992, 2009, 2011, and now 2026 \u2013 why would we want to see the exact same story, told the same way, over and over again? <\/span><span>Lots of the best adaptations make the most of their cultural context to tell the story a different way, and let us experience things we couldn\u2019t have in the past. Including Charli xcx needle-drops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This might sound like a defence of Fennell\u2019s film, but it\u2019s not. Coming from a filmmaker who claims to push the boundaries of what\u2019s acceptable on our screens today, Fennell\u2019s \u201c<\/span><em><span>Wuthering Heights\u201d <\/span><\/em><span>is so full of half-measures in both its style and content \u2013 maybe to preserve its 15 rating and rake in more ticket sales? \u2013 that it barely registers above an episode of <\/span><em><span>Bridgerton<\/span><\/em><span> on the scandal scale. In the end, it\u2019s far less radical than the 1847 novel would have been in its day, and for <\/span><em><span>that <\/span><\/em><span>reason it doesn\u2019t do the source material justice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>JAMES GREIG, FEATURES EDITOR: <\/strong><span>Winston Churchill once said, \u201cIf a man gives Emerald Fennell\u2019s <\/span><em><span>Wuthering Heights<\/span><\/em><span> one star on Letterboxd, he has no heart. But if he gives it five stars, he has no head.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I was reminded of this adage on Friday when I went to see <\/span><em><span>\u201cWuthering Heights\u201d<\/span><\/em><span>, a film that was neither as brilliant nor terrible as some early reviews had suggested. To be sure, there\u2019s a lot wrong with it. While so badly miscast that it\u2019s not really her fault, Robbie is awful \u2013 particularly in the earlier scenes when she\u2019s playing Cathy like a petulant, simpering 14-year-old prefect. For all its attempts at transgression and \u201cthis ain\u2019t your grandma\u2019s <\/span><em><span>Wuthering Heights<\/span><\/em><span>\u201d posturing, it\u2019s a fairly sanitised version of Bront\u00eb\u2019s novel, especially in its decision to reimagine Heathcliff\u2019s abuse of Isabella as a consensual BDSM relationship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But on the plus side, I\u2019d be lying if I said I didn\u2019t have a good time. I enjoyed the ridiculous, ahistorical costume and set design, and for the most part thought the film looked good \u2013 Fennell\u2019s visual style is garish but fun. As far as acting goes, Martin Clunes and Hong Chau are the MVPs. But the film\u2019s biggest saving grace is the Charli xcx soundtrack; I\u2019ve always loved Charli in angsty power-ballad mode and I think it\u2019s one of her best ever albums.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"src-youtube video-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-youtube\" data-id=\"tG1HKY6Jwas\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen frameborder height=\"422\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tG1HKY6Jwas\" webkitallowfullscreen width=\"750\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>EMILY DINSDALE, ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR: <\/strong><span>I enjoyed <\/span><em><span>\u201cWuthering Heights\u201d<\/span><\/em><span>, but doing so required me to consciously disengage my critical faculties as I took my seat in the cinema. I knew it was going to be a very silly film, but I permitted myself not to care. A few of the costumes made me laugh out loud, and the whole thing felt almost entirely stitched together from references to other movies (notably <em>Barry Lyndon<\/em>, Bram Stoker\u2019s <em>Dracula<\/em>, <em>Marie Antoinette<\/em> and <em>Gone With the Wind<\/em>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>My main point of contention has been with some of the marketing suggesting this version is more shocking than the book. <\/span><span>Robbie has recently been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TheCinesthetic\/status\/2020533305515655529?s=20\"><span>quoted<\/span><\/a><span> as saying, \u201cThere is actually not much kissing in the book, but we kiss a lot in the movie. We kiss everywhere.\u201d In the novel, Heathcliff has Cathy\u2019s body exhumed long after her death on two occasions so he can see her face. He defaces her coffin so that when he dies, their decomposing bodies will coalesce in the earth. <\/span><span>Getting off with each other more than Emily Bront\u00eb explicitly describes seems a bit trivial compared to a desire so consuming that you can\u2019t be happy until your mortal remains have intermingled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I agree with nearly all of the criticisms I\u2019ve heard levelled at Fennell\u2019s film and I wouldn\u2019t stir a muscle to defend it \u2013 it\u2019s hollow, Robbie is badly cast, it seems to misunderstand the source material, and it was definitely 20 minutes too long. But Elordi is really sexy and I still managed to take pleasure in the ridiculous spectacle of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>SOLOMON PACE-MCCARRICK, MUSIC WRITER: <\/strong><\/span>On our way to the cinema, my girlfriend and I decided to create bingo cards out of our predictions for Fennell\u2019s \u201c<em>Wuthering Heights\u201d<\/em>. Now, I wasn\u2019t familiar with the source material at all, but the accuracy with which we were able to guess the new adaptation\u2019s hammiest moments speaks volumes. I got one point for \u2018barn sex\u2019, half a point for \u2018sensually churning butter\u2019 (they were actually seductively kneading bread) and two points for \u2018emotional horse riding to the sounds of Charli xcx\u2019. Meanwhile, my girlfriend got points for: \u2018voyeurism\u2019, \u2018slapping\u2019, \u2018bodice-ripping\u2019, \u2018orientalism\u2019 and \u2018a weird chess metaphor\u2019. The script might read like Mumsnet fan-fiction \u2013 which, coincidentally, serves Heathcliff very well, because he says nothing at all for the majority of the film \u2013 but it was a great Valentine\u2019s weekend activity. I\u2019ll look back on \u201c<em>Wuthering Heights\u201d <\/em>fondly (and hope I never have to watch it again).\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!
