Wuthering Heights review: Emerald Fennell takes radical liberties that will offend Bronte purists - but the scandalous sex scenes and fabulous visuals are still heaps of fun
Wuthering HeightsCert: 15, 2hrs 16minsRating:Emerald Fennell is a film-maker who loves to shock, as anyone who saw Promising Young Woman and Saltburn can attest. And right from the start, she’s at it again with her startling reimagining of Emily Bronte’s classic novel Wuthering Heights. As the opening credits fade to a black screen, a creaking soundtrack suggests we’re about to witness some sort of sexual encounter. Bronte purists are likely to be appalled by the radical liberties taken with the actually quite difficult-to-read book. Yes, I had to stifle a giggle at our first glimpse of Margot Robbie, corseted bosom set to stun, as Cathy.
