Wuthering Heights review: a glossy fever dream fizzles
TL;DR Summary
Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights is a glossy fever dream that never captures Brontë's gothic depth: Margot Robbie's Cathy reads as Brontë Barbie, Heathcliff feels underwritten, and the film's overproduced visuals and bloated ending undercut its ambition, though Alison Oliver's Isabella provides a rare spark.
