Movie Meetup — 'Wuthering Heights' — Meet from 7:15, film at 8:40

ABOUT THE FILM

"Emerald Fennell, director of Saltburn, brings a stylish and 'aggressively provocative' retelling of Emily Brontë's much-loved novel.
"Brontë's passionate and tumultuous love story is set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire moors, exploring the intense and destructive relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw"
— Watershed summary

"Fennell understands that style can be substance when you do it right. Cathy and Heathcliff’s passions vibrate through their dress, their surroundings, and everything else within reach, and you leave the cinema quivering ..."
★★★★★ Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

“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. It is also a gooey, grimy mess.”
★★★★ David Sims. The Atlantic

“Literary purists may object, but Fennell seizes on something passionate in the material that was always there but never made explicit, amplifying what has gone largely unrequited all these years.”
★★★★ Peter Debruge, Variety

On the other hand, not everyone likes it ...

"It’s quasi-erotic, pseudo-romantic and then ersatz-sad, a club night of mock emotion."
★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"A fleetingly recognizable tale of love, desire, obsession, regret, bitterness, and ire that, at every turn, plays as florid, horny, juvenile fanfiction."
★★ Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
