The ‘Wuthering Heights’ controversies

Sign up to our culture newsletter here. Emerald Fennell’s film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s novel ‘Wuthering Heights’ was making headlines long before it actually hit theatres last week. Two issues have drawn attention: the casting of Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, and a necklace worn by Margot Robbie at a premiere event.
