The new adaptation of Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, has drawn mixed reviews, with one critic blasting it as an “emotionally hollow, bodice-ripping misfire”, while another hails it as “resplendently lurid, oozy and wild”.
The film, from Saltburn director Emerald Fennell, is a very loose adaptation of the classic gothic novel by Emily Bronte and the filmmaker says it recalls her experience of reading the text as a teenager.
