Heathcliff, Cathy, and the Eternal Doom That Pervades Their Love in Emerald Fennell’s ‘Wuthering Heights’
The choice to spend half the movie’s runtime before Heathcliff’s return hurts the pacing. Spending more time on Cathy and Heathcliff’s relationship falling apart and adding more nuance to their characters would have gone a long way in making the ending less saccharine. The end of a great love story is something to be mourned, yet I felt relief when the credits started rolling.
