First poster for Emerald Fennell’s WUTHERING HEIGHTS
>Test-screening reactions describe the film as “aggressively provocative and tonally abrasive,” leaning hard into Fennell’s familiar brand of stylized depravity. It diverges significantly from the novel and is a deliberately unromantic take on the source material, stripped of emotional nuance and full of salacious detours that serve shock value. Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi deliver committed performances, with great chemistry, but the characters they portray are so cold and unlikable that even strong acting can’t create a point of connection.
>There is hyper-sexualized imagery — far more explicit than any previous adaptation of this material. The film opens with a public hanging that quickly descends into grotesque absurdity, as the condemned man ejaculates mid-execution, sending the onlooking crowd into a kind of orgiastic frenzy. A nun fondles the corpse’s visible erection.
>Later, a woman is strapped into a horse’s reins for a BDSM-tinged encounter. There are several masturbation scenes shot in an intimate, clinical, and purposefully discomforting style. The camera lingers on suggestive textures: egg yolks running through fingers, dough being kneaded with quiet aggression, a slug sliding slowly down glass.
