"Wuthering Heights"

ok i'm conflicted. the cinematography is gorgeous like every frame is a painting. but the pacing is GLACIAL and i kept checking my phone which is the worst thing i can say about a movie. also the dialogue is so faithful to the book that it sounds weird coming out of modern faces. emerald fennell knows what she's doing visually but i think she's allergic to scenes that breathe. there's a kitchen scene in the second hour that's genuinely the best thing i've watched all year. and then the rest of the movie is.. also there. i went with my book club and we argued about it for two hours afterward which is probably the highest compliment i can give it. would i sit through it again? probably not for a few years. but i'm glad it exists.
