Wuthering Heights review: romance or red flag central?

Popcorn Podcast

About

Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights has arrived, and it’s already one of the most divisive films of the year. Popcorn Podcast is fresh from the Australian premiere to unpack why this bold reinterpretation swaps Emily Brontë’s chaste obsession for something far more erotic, stylised and confrontational. From Margot Robbie’s magnetic Catherine to Jacob Elordi’s intense Heathcliff, the film’s love it or hate it energy, and the jaw-dropping cinematography, lavish production design and fashion-forward costumes — plus the haunting soundtrack featuring original music from Charli XCX – is this tragic romance… or red flag central? Hit play and decide.
