Wuthering Heights review: Margot Robbie, Jacob Elordi are miscast in Emerald Fennell’s mockery of Emily Brontë’s classic

Wuthering Heights review Cast: Margot Robbie, Jacob Elordi, Hong Chau, Alison Oliver, Owen Cooper Director: Emerald Fennell Rating: ★ ‘I did not feel as if I were in the company of my own species,’ is how Heathcliff is described by Nelly in Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, which was first published in 1847. Be the work of a visionary or divine, there is little space for anyone to question the fact that in Heathcliff, Brontë created a figure of extreme contradictions. The book itself is a rush of maddening emotion, possessing the fury and rage of a volcano, one that refuses to obey. The new adaptation, directed by Academy Award-winner Emerald Fennell, demands obedience. In doing so, it commits the error not only of discarding the gigantic obligation of adaptation but also of making an utter mess of it.

Wuthering Heights 1st reviews out: Critics are divided on Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights adaptation. Some describe it as an emotionally hollow misfire, while others appreciate its stylised approach Critics divided over Wuthering Heights casting The Independent described the film as “an astonishingly hollow work.” The review argued that Fennell uses the guise of interpretation to strip the novel of its emotional violence and complexity, replacing it with marketable romance tropes. While acknowledging that many adaptations only cover the first half of the book, a tradition dating back to the 1939 film, the critic suggested that tone, not accuracy, is the central issue. An excerpt from The Independent review read, “With its title stylised in quotation marks, …

Wuthering Heights is arguably the most exciting release of the month. Commemorating the time of Valentine’s Day this year, it is all set to drop on February 13 globally. The Emerald Fennell directorial is based on Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel of the same name, and stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, respectively.

Hopefully, this film will reignite ideas that others already have about Wuthering Heights, as it did for me,” he says. Jacob …
