Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: This version of Wuthering Heights should never be construed as an alternative to reading the book for any high schoolers out there. While Fennell makes the film interesting with her technical filmmaking choices, the story never finds its footing as it fails to sell the one thing that it seems to promise.
- Excerpt: Emerald Fennell has taken Brontë’s novel and re-imagined it for modern audiences, recreating the visceral violence of the emotions involved while streamlining the narrative, bringing into sharper focus the depravity of thwarted desire and, finally, nailing once and for all Nelly as the true villain of the piece.
- Excerpt: Featuring preposterous production design which at one point uses leeches in a design that extends from Cathy’s breast up onto her pink bedroom walls, Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” may be ridiculous but it certainly scratches a particular itch…
- Excerpt: Director Emerald Fennell turns a dark story about obsession into a glossy spectacle. It has plenty of heat, but not much depth.
- Excerpt: It absolutely does not work on Brontë’s terms. On its own, however, it works pretty well.
- Excerpt: Emerald Fennell’s new film is more of a a sexy perfume commercial than a version of the classic Emily Bronte novel.
- Excerpt: Not without its issues, Emerald Fennell’s over-the-top take on ‘Wuthering Heights’ makes for a deliciously devious dark romance with alluring lead performances from Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. The production elements are electrifying across the board. Disclaimer: I have never read the book.
- Excerpt: Sexy modern-day adaptation of Emily Bronte’s classic.
- Excerpt: Fans of the novel will find an adaptation that doesn’t understand the point of the original story, and those looking for a passionate love story to watch on Valentine’s Day will find a narratively inert, emotionally empty film.
