"Another user called the film enthralling and exquisite, and lavishing the nouns rather than the adjectives, called it a beautiful mess of passion, destruction, lust, revenge and unhinged behaviour. Throw the book away and step into the madness of undeniable chemistry and explosive toxic desire. Veteran film writer Anne Thompson predicted the film will open well and soar at the box office, calling it a rip-roaring, bodice-ripping crowd pleaser."
"Box office pundit Scott Mendelson concurred, saying that the film rocks and praising its big-budget production value and cinematic style value we once took for granted but also suggesting it works on its own terms as a nuanced romantic tragedy. A slight note of caution was voiced by Brandon Norwood, who called the film a tad too long but said its stars are explosive together. Their chemistry leaps off the screen. And yeah it's hot, he emphasises. It's horny."
Early Los Angeles screenings generated heated social media reactions following Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights. Reviewers and viewers used terms like intoxicating, transcendent, enthralling and a god-tier new classic to describe its portrayal of desire. The film’s garish visuals, unrestrained direction and big-budget cinematic style earned praise and predictions of strong box-office performance. Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie received particular acclaim for explosive on-screen chemistry, though some noted a slightly excessive runtime. Bronte purists expressed scepticism over anachronistic costume choices, apparent BDSM elements and controversial casting decisions. Fennell defended the approach by citing sado-masochistic elements in the novel.
