Wuthering Heights

"Style over substance? Not at all – it’s more that Fennell understands that style can be substance when you do it right. Cathy and Heathcliff’s passions vibrate through their dress, their surroundings, and everything else within reach, and you leave the cinema quivering on their own private frequency."
– THE TELEGRAPH‍

‍

"Wuthering Heights, the writer-director Emerald Fennell’s new adaptation of Emily Brontë’s groundbreaking Gothic novel, is her best film to date -- a heaving, rip-snortingly carnal good time at the cinema."
– THE ATLANTIC

"This is a sexy, funny, ravishing and dark revision that keeps Heathcliff’s frightening obsessiveness, emotional toxicity and sadism intact while ably contorting the tale into a decadent, modern, yet still distinctly gothic, romance."
– NEW YORK POST

‍

"For nearly two centuries, Brontë’s book has been a romantic fantasy for readers. Fennell treats it as an erotic one as well, leaning into all that is sensual."
– VARIETY

"Fennell’s overhaul flirts with insanity, and if you can let go of preconceived notions about how this story should be told, it’s arguably the writer-director’s most purely entertaining film — pulpy, provocative, drenched in blazing color and opulent design, laced with anachronistic flourishes, sexy, pervy, irreverent and resonantly tragic."
– HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“Intoxicating, transcendent, tantalizing and hypnotic — a god-tier new classic.”
- THE INDEPENDENT

"The Oscar-winning British filmmaker crafts a sumptuous bad romance that’s quite haughty, darkly hilarious and ultimately heartfelt."
– USA TODAY

“Emerald Fennell’s bodice-ripping treatment of a classic.”
