WUTHERING HEIGHTS

Wuthering Heights (2026)

Directed by: Emerald Fennell

This no longer feels like a movie. It plays like an extended music video, a glossy video pictorial dressed up as cinema.

The actors love to strike poses and parade through stylized shots. Their movements are timed to the beat of the songs. You end up appreciating the soundtrack more than the story.

The scenes leave no impression. It’s all surface and no substance. Pure aesthetics with nothing to hold onto. There’s no sense of progression. They’re just jumping from one chapter to another, but the pages in between are missing.

Costumes add glamour but no depth to the characters. They move like puppets, blindly obeying the script. Their actions are soulless. There’s no life to what’s happening. For the sake of advancing the plot, they become reckless and monstrous. It’s not realistic anymore.

Love’s definition is cheaply degraded. It is repeatedly mistaken for lust. Less about emotion. More about sexual tension.

Despite its long runtime of 2 hours and 16 minutes, the movie is short on entertainment, romance, and emotional weight. It struggles to reach any meaningful heights.
