KIIS Presents iHeartLIVE with Margot Robbie & Jacob Elordi for “Wuthering Heights” February 13, 2026 • 21 mins
A first of its kind, exclusive, intimate fan event hosted by Smallzy celebrating the Aussie exports turned Hollywood superstars & their highly anticipated new movie. Many websites such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Manchester Evening News, are still reporting the latest news in Brontëland: a TV adaptation of Jane Eyre played by Aimee Lou Wood is in the works.
And now for some Wuthering Heights 2026. According to The Tulane Hullabaloo, 'Whitewashing concerns shape reception of Fennell’s ‘ Wuthering Heights’'. Dazed recommends '9 books to read if you loved Wuthering Heights (the novel, not the film)'. A contributor to Her Campus discusses the 'relationship psychology' in Wuthering Heights. Condé Nast Traveler offers advice on 'How to Explore West Yorkshire Beyond the Moors of Wuthering Heights'. The Courier Mail finds the film "not enough hot": Wuthering Heights wasn’t raunchy enough. There, I said it. After months of marketing that all but promised a cinematic climax on the Yorkshire moors, the new Wuthering Heights starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi left me doing something I did not expect: Waiting for it to get hotter. (...) If you are going to abandon strict period accuracy, fine. But commit to a world. Perhaps my bigger frustration is this: the film abandons some of the book’s core themes that were genuinely ahead of their time, particularly around race and rigid social hierarchy, yet it does not commit hard enough to the raunchy reimagining to justify the shift. If you are going to strip away Brontë’s grit, at least sex it up. Instead, it sits in an awkward middle ground. Not faithful enough to be literary. Not wild enough to be scandalous. In 2026, if you promise me torrid obsession on the moors, I expect torrid obsession. And frankly, I wanted more. (Georgia Clelland)
Even more reviews:
On paper, “Wuthering Heights” should be a formidable awards-season contender. Its early February release and divisive storytelling may prove a bridge too far for some audiences. The film’s technical achievements — from lavish production design and daring costuming to Sandgren’s sweeping VistaVision cinematography and a score by Anthony Willis alongside Charli XCX — could find themselves in contention a year from now. “Wuthering Heights” is a spectacle of original auteur filmmaking that demands to be seen in the best format possible. Cinephiles entering the theater with an open mind, ready to celebrate creative risktaking and bold iconography, should experience “Wuthering Heights” unbridled on the big screen rather than confined to a restrained home viewing. (Matt Ward)
Despite criticism, the film succeeds in capturing one of the novel’s essential themes, what happens when social class interferes with love and passion, allowing revenge and resentment to fester. Ultimately, the film presents a modern interpretation of Brontë’s Victorian tragedy, one that resonates with contemporary audiences drawn to stories of dark romance and emotional vulnerability. While it may not replicate the novel’s full depth, it offers a 21st-century lens that highlights how themes of class, obsession, and revenge remain deeply relevant today. (Gaby Collazo)
The film abandons literary fidelity to become something entirely new. The quotation marks do their job – this isn’t Brontë’s story – and Fennell’s central point lands with full force, women remain trapped by the structures men built. “Wuthering Heights” is messy, gorgeous, infuriating and unforgettable. Though it fails as an adaptation to honor the original story’s vision, the film traps viewers in its surprising beauty and makes the cost of desire impossible to ignore. (Alexis Coffee)
Overall, the movie is more of a lust story than a love story. The film received so much hype and popularity before its release because it features two attractive actors in the lead roles, reflecting marketing that prioritizes star power and physical appeal over narrative depth. Today’s audience is enticed and captured by films that feature attractive and famous actors, whether or not the movie itself is good. Wuthering Heights is proof that beautiful people brooding in dramatic lighting still need something to do. Apparently, love may be eternal, but plot development is optional. (Lucia Rose and Niya Desai)
I do applaud the ability of “Wuthering Heights” to take us beyond the bounds of character Nelly Dean’s narration and place the viewer in the estate itself. And we wardrobe admirers were able to get a good look at Jacqueline Durran’s handiwork, the saving grace of the entire production. I imagine that when Brontë conceptualized her masterpiece, Fennell’s interpretation was not at all what she had in mind. However, I encourage you to forget that the movie is an adaptation and give in to the fantastical world of beauty dressed by Durran and brought to life by Robbie and Elordi. There is something for everyone to admire. (Grace Schuringa)
The cinematography of the film is unquestionably stunning. The untamed, lonely and emotionally-charged nature of the surroundings is further supported by the scenery, which is both brutal and lovely in equal measure. Even when the adaptation deviates from the original novel, it does so with assurance and consistency, which serves to explain the film’s deviations. The story’s devastating attraction is reflected in the beauty, which is thematic rather than decorative. In finality, “‘Wuthering Heights’” is an adaptation that encourages discussion with the book rather than attempting to replace it. It offers an interpretation influenced by contemporary cinema, current discussions and a willingness to take chances, existing alongside Brontë’s text rather than in support of it. Although early suspicion is reasonable, if not justified, the movie demonstrates that change does not always equate to treachery or betrayal to the original text. “Wuthering Heights” 2026 is a daring, flawed and startling version that recognizes the original’s strength while daring to change it, producing something surprisingly captivating in the process. (Adisa Balic)
Overall, “Wuthering Heights” is an entertaining watch that maintains its entertainment value. This movie has remained divisive among audiences, but if you’re someone who enjoys melodrama and period romances, this movie could be for you. (Sage Mullins)
The result is a directionless experience that leads only toward confusion and irritation for its viewers, with the exception of those who are satisfied with well-composed images of beautiful people getting touchy amid beautiful backdrops. Stripped of most of its social context, these glamorous scenes of yearning and suffering for forbidden love are little more than moving pictures. There is aural beauty in this film. The original soundtrack album provided by Charli XCX is truly atmospheric, and conveys most of what little vision and intention the film possesses. It is the most original aspect of the film, but it also can’t make up for the overwhelming lack of substance or direction that permeates the rest of “Wuthering Heights.” The visuals fall into the same sort of purgatory. The costumes are aesthetically appealing, and it is no detriment per se that they obviously stray away from period-accurate fashion. Yet despite their intentionally evocative bodice-ripper romance novel aesthetic, every one of Earnshaw’s decadent dresses may as well be generated by artificial intelligence in its attempt to simulate intention that just isn’t there. The film’s leaning into physical passion is not the source of its lackluster storytelling either. It could have been ripe with meaning, as explicit imagery avails itself to a large array of critical commentary that could bear fruit. (Julie Huang)
A remarkable departure from past film versions was the exaggerated production design by Suzie Davies, done to contrast Cathy's lavish playground in Thrushcross Grove to her miserable home turf in Wuthering Heights. The Linton house was replete with over-the-top interiors and props, from the bedroom walls rendered in the color of Cathy's face, the enormous replica of the mansion with dolls inside made by hand with actual human hair, to those glazed shrimps and giant fruits garnishing the food on the ostentatious dining table. A markedly aggressive feature of the 2026 film was the overtly sexual Cathy-Heathcliff relationship. Previously, they were portrayed to be just limited to longing looks and repressed desire. Now, in the first hour, Heathcliff would chance upon Cathy's moments of intimate awakening, peeking at cavorting servants, and exploring herself behind the rocks. In the second hour, upon their reunion, Heathcliff and Cathy actually broke all boundaries and launched into a montage-ful of illicit sexual encounters both in- and outdoors. (Fred Hawson)
When you watch Wuthering Heights, are you going to get a movie that makes you feel good about love? About the realities of the class war? About Emerald Fennell as someone you want to have a beer with? No, probably. But you will leave with a new appreciation for how gnarly and revolting Wuthering Heights is as a text — and for the price of a dozen eggs. (Caroline Colvin) Essentially, the film lacks detail and purpose. A thrilling, gothic story is canned in favor of a cowering, sexually inept, “modern” retelling. Fennell could have made a freaky “Wuthering Heights” if she so pleased, and also have been semi-true to the novel at the same time. Or, she could have made an entirely different movie, which she clearly intended to do anyways. Instead, the movie relies on shock value and odd euphemisms to deliver the macabre “twist” on the source material. It is crude, but passionless. They could maybe get away with that if it wasn’t being marketed as “the greatest love story of all time.” While watching, my main thought was: how is this adaptation so much, yet too little at the same time? How is this film aiming for ultra freaked-out and still landing upon clunky and juvenile? Why did this cost $80 million dollars to make? I’ll level with you — I was thinking the above thoughts while silently crying in my seat. So, it accomplished something. It’s not a true adaptation, and it’s not even a good half-adaptation. This may be a film I only recommend to select groups of people: the hate viewers, the Elordi and Robbie fans and the overly emotional. (Ava Brescia)
It leans much more synth than “Wuthering Heights,” but it has the same vibes of romantic yearning if that’s what you’re looking for. It’s also a lot more positive if you’re looking for a pick-me-up after listening to “Wuthering Heights.” Now that you have my opinions and my recommendations, you can gather that I am giving “Wuthering Heights” an unsuprising positive rating. (Meredith Young)
The “Wuthering Heights” soundtrack album is a perfect example of what it means for the standards of creation to be sky high, as they currently are for Charli xcx. It certainly justifies this expectation — just listen to “House featuring John Cale,” — but it also represents the pitfalls of catering to a wide variety of demands, with unique sounds suffering from an ensemble average of tastes that push them into sameness. (Alessandro M. M. Drake) Charli XCX has done it again. Though “Wuthering Heights” is a complete diversion from 2024’s “Brat,” its full string arrangements, miserably romantic imagery and cinematic production makes the album not just a collection of songs, but an immersive experience that will make you want to run dramatically through the English moors. (Julia Vetsch) Overall, I think the album is interesting for those who already have a liking for Charli xcx’s particular sound. The album is a blend of romantic, synth tones, dark and unsettling instrumentations, and Charli xcx’s iconic auto-tuned, filtered vocal sound. “Wuthering Heights” is definitely less upbeat pop than “Brat”, but it is still uniquely representative of Charli xcx’s sound as an artist. (Ella Mitchell)
“Wuthering Heights” is a satisfying listen as well as a canny solution to the problem of how to follow up a breakthrough record. (Mark Richardson) The sexual wellness company, Maude, has released a Come Undone Kit: In partnership with "WUTHERING HEIGHTS": Eucalyptus breathes cold across the moors, cassis and musk linger like mist, amber and sandalwood burn low—memory comes undone.
The Come Undone Kit features Burn No. 3, Oil No. 0, and an exclusive poster + behind-the-scenes booklet—a collectible for film and fragrance lovers alike.

Wuthering Heights February 15, 2026
For this week's main podcast review, Katie Johnson, Josh Parham, Cody Dericks, Giovanni Lago, and Daniel Howat join me to discuss the latest film from Emerald Fennell, "Wuthering Heights," starring Margot Robbie, Jacob Elordi, Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, Martin Clunes, and Ewan Mitchell. Adapted from Emily Brontë's 1847 novel, the film is a highly subjective reinterpretation by Fennell and has garnered a wide range of opinions and generated a ton of discourse surrounding the casting and book changes/omissions. What did we think of it? Please tune in as we discuss Fennell's direction, writing, the costumes, production design, cinematography, score, songs by Charli xcx, the performances and chemistry from Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening. Come undone with us and enjoy (or let it drive you mad).
But Wuthering Heights 2026 is still having its moment. Variety reports that it's still #1 at the UK and Ireland box offices. Warner Bros.’ “Wuthering Heights” remained at No. 1 at the U.K. and Ireland box office in its second weekend, taking £3.8 million ($5.3 million) and pushing its cumulative total to £16.2 million ($22.1 million), according to Comscore. (Naman Ramachandran) After opening in second place over Valentine’s Day last weekend, Emerald Fennell‘s Wuthering Heights suffered a minuscule 16 percent drop to rise to the top of the Czech box office charts in its second weekend of release, according to data from the Czech Film Distributors Union. The Gothic romance starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as ill-fated lovers Cathy and Heathcliff earned CZK 4.61 million to bring its two-week total to just north of CZK 13 million. Brit + Co recommends '6 'Wuthering Heights' Adaptations to Watch After the Controversial Remake'. IOL claims that 'Emerald Fennell's bold reimagining of Wuthering Heights challenges literary traditions' but, in fact, simply discusses the context of the film. There's also a similar article in The Lantern. A contributor to Fashion Magazine supposedly 'Dressed as Cathy to See Wuthering Heights'. A contributor to Missing Perspectives might be one of those reading just a bit too much into the casting choices as a form of white supremacy (the fact that they know better than the actors themselves--who supposedly didn't realise they were being used for racist purposes--is pretty eloquent, we think, though). A contributor to The Conversation thinks that the film's casting choices show the film's 'almost complete lack of depth'.

Some more reviews:
Olivia Blake, MP, reviews it for Politics Home, giving it 3/5. (1/5 for the purists). As a Yorkshire lass, Wuthering Heights holds a visceral place in my heart. I chose to view this new 2026 film adaptation not as the book I love, however, but as a standalone vision by director Emerald Fennell. Absolute purists will not enjoy this disconnected fantasy; it is certainly not Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. But if you suspend expectations, it is an indulgent treat. The verdict? Emerald Fennell’s ‘make believe’ lacks the scent of windswept heather but has its own strange, man-made shine. Shallow, yes; glossy, certainly. Is it worth a watch? Yes – as long as you don’t expect the earthy style, substance, or plot of the book.
Going in, I expected something far more explicit. Instead, the film handled intimacy with surprising restraint. It was tasteful. Charged, yes, but never exploitative. There are a few moments that feel more distracting than seductive. But even that doesn’t tip into the film’s success. It just briefly pulls you out of the mood. At most, they briefly disrupt the atmosphere before it tightens its grip again. Wuthering Heights isn’t a comforting watch. It’s gothic in the truest senses: obsessive and morally-murky. It doesn’t glamorize love. It interrogates it. Is this what soulmates look like? Or is it what happens when two people mistake trauma for destiny? The film never gives you a clean answer. It just leaves you with the wind, the red, the silence and that love echoing in your head. Pleasure or death in Wuthering Heights are almost indistinguishable. (Savannah Stickrod-Worthen)
I loved that I thought back to the work of the poetic Emily with a new interpretation. And that my daughter could approach an old story with a contemporary lens. And I love that women made this. And they knew they would be criticised and hung high in the town square. They’re too old. Too blonde. Too much like Barbie. Too different from the book…but they did it anyway. Unapologetic. It made me realise why I have always found that bloody story so unsettling. Because I know what it is to be Cathy. That the darkness and shadow is not separate to me. It is me. I’m Cathy. I’ve come home. (Only thing I would have added at the end was Kate Bush.) (Mandy Nolan)
Without revealing salient plot points, Emerald Fennell (“Saltburn,” “Promising Young Woman”) focuses on tumultuous, obsessive lust – choosing overtly erotic style-over-substance – graphically chronicled in VistaVision by cinematographer Linus Sandgren and extravagantly enhanced by production designer Suzie Davies, set decorator Charlotte Diricks, costumer Jacqueline Durran and composer Charli xcx. (Susan Granger) While Fennell may not have cared so much about the book-to-movie adaptation of it all, she nevertheless succeeded in making an entertaining and visually pleasing movie. (Liliana Hummel) Still, much of Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” is a visual treat for the armchair traveler. You get to viscerally wander those wild, craggy Yorkshire moors (or wherever the film was shot). Cue the cheesy but irresistible image of Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi) riding off on a rearing steed against a flaming sunset after hearing of Cathy’s engagement to wealthy neighbor Edgar Linton (Shazad Latif). Fennell’s version of Thrushcross Grange, Linton’s estate, as a scarlet-and-gold candy box—with Cathy’s bedroom walls patterned after her skin—is preposterous but fun to gape at. As is Cathy’s elaborate, far-too-modern wardrobe, which features flounces, tinsel, and décolletage—call it Barbie Victorian. Gape is the operative word; this movie dumbs you down. [...] There’s been much verbiage about Fennell’s in-quotes version of “Wuthering Heights” and whether it violates the spirit of the original, blah blah. There’s no reason a film adaptation can’t create a parallel version of its primary source. I’ve always thought the film of The English Patient was perhaps better than the novel, thanks to Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas—particularly the way the film clarified certain scenes that were illegible in the novel. Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” is notable for its ambition, production values, and the sheer chutzpah of attempting to bring such a cherished masterwork of English literature to the screen. But none of that has resulted in a good film. (Erica Abeel)
Taking into account these clashing elements and reviews, the film has shown itself to be complex, visually extravagant and emotionally charged, but often lacking in character depth and Brontë’s overall message regarding class, identity and the destructive nature of obsessive love. (Polina Akulova) If you want to look at something pretty, see Elordi be mildly freaky and lots of aesthetic color choices, go see the movie. If you want to see something romantic, tragic, and with the substance of the novel — particularly a layered tragedy based on the abuses society deals to its most marginalized, and how love can still grow despite this — skip it. (Nazjai Dickson) Rice Thresher gives 4 stars to Charli XCX's Wuthering Heights album. When looking at “Wuthering Heights” both individually and in the context of the career Charli xcx has enjoyed, it is impossible not to love it. Though not as strong as some of her previous works, it is a spectacular addition to her catalog that is deserving of immense praise. It is a reminder that, despite whatever happens, Charli will do what she wants to do to fulfill her artistic mission and create something extraordinary along the way. (Layne Heath)
A contributor to Her Campus reviews the film as well.
Great British Life has a tempting article on 'Why you should move to Haworth in West Yorkshire'. It’s a bright, crisp, perfect winter’s day as I cross the moors towards Haworth, and the north feels anything but grim as I take in the sweeping views before me. This is Brontë country, a landscape immortalised by the literary sisters in the pages of their world-famous novels. Some footpath signs to sites made famous through their association with the Brontë's books are written in Japanese and English, an indication of how popular this corner of Yorkshire is for enthusiasts worldwide. For many who visit, this isn’t just a day out, it’s a pilgrimage - a chance to step into the world that shaped some of the greatest novels in English literature. The charm of Haworth and the surrounding area is being appreciated by an even wider audience, thanks to social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. (Felicity Macnamara)
