Enjoyed this! I've also been gathering my thoughts about this adaptation! But I thought that the Fennell adaptation was low on wuthering! (compared to the 2011 adaptation for example). Lots of rain but not much wind and, in my mind, wuthering is all about whistling, moaning, violent winds. Plus, a lot of the action (particularly in the second half) takes place inside, in the two houses, much more than outside on the moor. Or am I misremembering?? It's been a few weeks since I saw it. There is some high emotion I suppose, but these film-Catherines and film-Heathcliffs are always more civilised and restrained than their book counterparts! They are made more palatable and less extreme!
I agree the 2011 version is absolutely my favourite and also is spot on with the geology! I was considering wuthering in its emotional meaning as well as climate...
Great headline, Ronald. And a very enjoyable read. Just when I thought I couldn't bear to read another thing on Wuthering Heights, I saw your question on whether or it wuthered and I was the most intrigued I've been on the subject yet. I haven't seen the film (although I'm sure I will in time), but I'm glad to know Fennell got the rocks right, even if they were fibreglass 😆

I will watch with interest now I’ve read this review Ronald.
