Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi Star in “Wuthering Heights”

Emerald Fennell's reimagined film adaptation of “Wuthering Heights” starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi has premiered in USA theaters to polarized reviews regarding its significant departures from the original Emily Brontë novel.The movie omits the second half of the book and reframes Nelly Dean, played by Hong Chau, as a manipulative antagonist while introducing explicit sadomasochistic themes into the romance.While some viewers in New York City praised the lead actors, others criticized the casting of Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff and the decision to tone down the more macabre elements found in the source material.
