Is 'Wuthering Heights' really 'smooth-brained' and 'idiotic'? Why we can't stop arguing about the depraved classic.
Water is wet, the weather in the English moors is dreadful and a psychosexual romantic drama about two outrageously cruel soulmates has the internet in an uproar.
Perhaps it was fated, just like Heathcliff and Catherine, that the 2026 film adaptation of Wuthering Heights would be controversial — moral scrutiny about the exasperating love story is as old as the original 1847 Emily Brontë novel itself.
In fact, people have been mad about writer-director Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of the book since it was announced that A-listers Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi would play the leads. People said Robbie’s too old, Elordi’s too white and Fennell can’t be trusted with stories of class and violence — all fair critiques, leveled long before they’d suited up in period-inaccurate costumes to scream at each other in the rain.

Charli XCX: Wuthering Heights Album Review
Emerald Fennell’s new adaptation of Wuthering Heights reimagines Emily Brontë’s classic novel as a big-budget bodice ripper. It stars Jacob Elordi as the lascivious, brutish Heathcliff and Margot Robbie as an improbably blonde, manifestly too-old Cathy Earnshaw. Among other attractions, it features public hanging, dollhouse murder, puppy play, and vast quantities of tactile goop as a stand-in for the unspeakable. There are enough overtones of horny menace to pass for “erotic” among a viewing public in the midst of a sex drought. The film is both overlong and overwrought and is neither as brilliant nor as terrible as critics and Letterboxd reviewers make it out to be. It has to be one of the most middling movies to stoke a media super-cycle, which has had the unfortunate effect of overshadowing the best thing it has going for it: a new companion album by Charli XCX.
