Wuthering Heights fanfic put to screen and it sucks ass.  Not that I’m this mega fan of the novel. I read it this past month and I found it pretty fascinating. Would love to study it in an academic setting. But it isn’t something I hold dear. I also don’t believe adaptations need to be fully faithful, but if you’re going to not be faithful to the source material, it should be pretty justified as to why you are using the source as your baseline. This movie sucks as both an adaptation and as a movie on its own. It is imagined in the same lens Bella Swan understands it in Twilight. It thinks it’s super horny and fucked up and moody but it’s mostly just annoying and boring with pretty good set design.  All that being said, I will always put my ass in the seat of an Emerald Fennel film.

Walked out thinking this was a 4 star movie. A fun original comedy that’s unlike many other movies. But as I sat with it, this movie rules. How the fuck was this made? In the week since I’ve seen it a day hasn’t passed where I haven’t thought about it in some capacity.

Unfortunately, this will never hit the same way it did when I was 16. Also I was sick throwing my guts up. Took some of the enjoyment out.

Loved this. Some of the most fun editing in a film I’ve seen in a while.
