Wuthering Heights

Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordie take on the roles as Catherine and Heathcliff in Emily Brontë’s powerful story of love, desire, and revenge, and look absolutely gorgeous doing it. Oscar-winning screenwriter and Oscar-nominated director Emerald Fennell is at the helm, creating a gorgeous, sexy, modern take on the classic even if it’s still set in its traditional period. It’s very much a film carried by feeling, vibes, and beautiful people who can act wonderfully. The film gets more than a little spicy, but then again, the novel has some kick to it too.

“The resulting film is a bit silly, very sexy, visually decadent, and, yes, wonderful.” -Max Weiss, New York Magazine/Vulture
“A great film because it doesn’t try to be anything more than a feeling, transmitted with the utmost sincerity and beauty.” -Coleman Spilde, Salon.com
“It’s all breathlessly overheated, styled to the gods, and it looks great.” -Glen Welden, NPR
“This is a large-scale costume drama with an epic scope, and Fennell makes sure it’s anything but stodgy.” -Adam Graham, Detroit News
“There’s fun to be found in this pulpy, carnal, proudly idiotic Wuthering Heights.” -Dana Stevens, Slate
“The final product, all said, is a visually rich, transportive, if simplistic, story of love denied.” -Annie Berke, The New Republic
“Swooning, steamy and more than a little kinky, with hot-blooded performances from its two ravishing stars.” -Rafer Guzman, Newsday
“The movie is soaked in a yearning that females of all persuasions will recognise.” -Nikki Gemmell, The Australian
“Style over substance? Not at all — it’s more that Fennell understands that style can be substance when you do it right.” -Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph (UK)
“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.” -David Sims, The Atlantic
“If you embrace the film’s audacious style and think of it as a reinvention not an adaptation, this bold, artful Wuthering Heights is utterly absorbing.” -Caryn James, BBC.com
“With flair and bombast to spare, Fennell reaches such great Heights that this feels like the first must-see movie of 2026, an enthralling retelling of an all-time love story through an accessibly modern lens.” -Brian Truitt, USA Today

Wuthering Heights opens at The Clyde on Friday, March 6, and plays Friday, Saturday, & Monday at 7:30, plus Sunday at 2:00.
