Overview
- The film reaches cinemas on February 12 in Latin America and February 13 in the United States and Spain, following a Valentine’s week campaign.
- Directed, written, and produced by Emerald Fennell, the 136‑minute feature stars Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff in a loose reinterpretation of Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel.
- Initial tallies cite roughly 71% on Rotten Tomatoes and 60 on Metacritic, with praise for audacious visuals and criticism focused on narrative depth and faithfulness to the source.
- Debate centers on Jacob Elordi portraying a character long described with racial ambiguity and on Margot Robbie’s age relative to the novel’s Catherine, alongside concern over marketing that frames the story as grand romance.
- Music credits include an original score by Anthony Willis and a set of new songs from Charli XCX, as coverage also notes a reported spike in book sales tied to the release.
