Why it took me so long to watch this? I’ll be honest: I put off watching this for months. The early reviews were all over the place. Some critics called it “astonishingly bad,” while others said it was a “gasp-inducing thrill ride.” Plus, I’ve always been loyal to Emily Brontë’s novel, so I wasn’t eager to spend two hours on someone else’s take on a book I care about. Wuthering Heights isn’t just something I’ve read; I’ve defended it, debated it, and come back to it many times. Seeing an adaptation that critics called either a masterpiece or a total misreading felt risky. So I waited. I let the conversation die down, ignored the hot takes, and finally watched it when I felt ready.
