Ever since it was announced, Emerald Fennell's version of the torrid Brontë classic has been the subject of furious online discourse over everything from its casting to its costumes.
Haven’t seen it but many theorised the film would be a story of two lovers who discover and then re-enact/re-live the tale of Wuthering Heights together, rather than the actual tale of Wuthering heights. Hence the commas in the title, and the anachronisms in design.
If that is the case, pretty much nothing to be annoyed about. If not, then hell yeah, even I might be annoyed.
But viewers shouldn’t be annoyed that it isn’t a perfect retelling when we’ve already had 5 or more on screen adaptations of Wuthering Heights.
