Moors Misread: Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights Draws Fire

A Defector review argues Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights is visually extravagant but narratively shallow, distorting Brontë's moor-born romance by whitewashing Heathcliff, retooling Catherine, and prioritizing fashion, interiors, and montage over the novel's themes of liberty and ferocity, culminating in a contrived death that reveals little about the characters or Brontë's world.

Brontë’s edge, neutered: Vox critiques Fennell’s Wuthering Heights

Vox’s Constance Grady argues Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights fetishizes style over Brontë’s brutal tension, neuters Heathcliff and Catherine, and shifts Nelly Dean into a villain, resulting in a film that provokes little and mirrors more of a Nicholas Sparks vibe than Brontë’s edge.

Wuthering Heights Goes Global, Tops Box Office With $83M Opening

Emerald Fennell’s surreal Wuthering Heights opened to a strong global total of about $83 million over the Valentine’s Day/Presidents’ Day weekend, topping the box office. Domestically it earned roughly $38 million in 3,682 theaters, below early projections, while overseas it brought in about $45 million. Produced for about $80 million with marketing around $85 million, the film’s profitability will likely depend on foreign markets as it expands to Japan, China, and other regions. The movie is noted for its provocative, bodice-ripper-inspired take on Emily Brontë’s novel and features a controversial self-pleasuring scene involving Margot Robbie.

Wuthering Heights review: a glossy fever dream fizzles

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.
