Wuthering Heights (2026)
medium(s): movie |
date reviewed: 26 April 2026
rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️🖤
Watched this with spouse over two nights. It wasn’t the movie that we expected (I’m not familiar with the source material, and the trailer feels selectively edited in hindsight), but I have some (perhaps begrudging) respect for it?
I don’t like the characters, I don’t love the plot, and I’m not sure I enjoyed the movie, but it feels like it really knew the vibes it was going for, and I feel like it succeeded there. I like a movie that knows what it wants to be and doesn’t mind being weird along the way, and this fit that bill.
Earnshaw’s death feels like a good example of all of this: The giant piles of liquor bottles in two corners of the room are way over-the-top, but they capture the scene, and that whole vibe seems to be what the movie is going for.
