“Wuthering Heights” might not only be the most controversial movie of the year so far, but one of the most controversial adaptations ever made. Being completely honest, I haven’t read the book, so I went into the early screening without any bias, and with fairly low expectations given the divisive commentary online. That might be why I liked the movie a little more than I expected to.
Tom's Guide Verdict: 'Wuthering Heights'
- Rating: 3/5 stars
- Verdict: "Wuthering Heights" is visually stunning, with sizzling chemistry, immersive sound, and moody gothic romance that draws you in. But beneath the beauty lies a heavily romanticized take on toxic love, erasing key character empowerment and upsetting book purists. It's a feast for the eyes, not the conscience.
- Where to watch: "Wuthering Heights" premieres in theaters on Feb. 13
