pretty much what i expected.
a film which has a screenplay with misogyny, fetishization of woman and the overall looming fact that the work its based on ultimately make fennel's style work less then it already does.
i would say im not someone who thinks an adaptation should be faithfull but fennel doesn't apparentely doesn't get this story yet tries to form it into a raunchy romanticization of degradation.
as much as it tries to whitewash heathcliff, its allegory on racism won't go away. and again, fennel apparently doesn't read her scripts as there is a lot of misogyny that never gets adressed. most of these characters are flat as cardboad which includes heathcliff and catherine.
the performance are as equally dumb as the writing. if you give me a serious performance with dialogue like that(the performances aren't good even with different dialogue) then its hard for me to get invested or take it seriously.
a directorn who herself and her work are to self aware made for other as non self aware white people.
