There is a lot of discourse surrounding Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights. Some of it is valid. Some of it is not. Like the criticism of Charli XCX doing the music for the film. That’s not really the hill to die on here.
Many theories have popped up about Fennell’s film, which is wrote and directed, since the debut of the poster and first trailer. My own being that this isn’t an adaptation of Wuthering Heights at all and there will be some twist in the film about it. But that’s my own thought on it. And if this is a straight forward adaptation, I understand the criticisms that many have been lobbying at the film. Primarily with the casting of Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, who in the Emily Brontë novel is not a white man.
