You can’t help but be impressed by Maggie Gyllenhaal’s take on this classic horror story. It’s audacious, ferocious, has terrific performances and a throbbing feminist heart. I just wish it had been stitched together a bit more judiciously.
With this oh so vivid interpretation of Emily Bronte’s romantic classic, Emerald Fennell secures her place as one of the most audacious, undeniable filmmakers working today.
As entertaining as it is, this one also feels a bit like a scientific experiment: the synthesis of the Safdie and Chalamet energies. The results aren’t always dynamite, but they often sure come close.
