Emerald Fennell’s new adaptation of Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, has premiered to a fiercely divided critical reception, with one reviewer dismissing it as an "emotionally hollow, bodice-ripping misfire" while another lauded it as "resplendently lurid, oozy and wild".
The film, from the director behind Saltburn, is described as a very loose interpretation of Emily Brontë’s classic gothic novel. Fennell has stated that the adaptation aims to recall her own experience of reading the text as a teenager.
