"Wuthering Heights" (2026) Review | Beautiful, Brutal, and Polarizing

Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights is messy, heat, confrontational, and absolutely not interested in pleasing everyone.

On this episode of Thumb War, we break down Fennell’s bold interpretation of the Brontë classic — from erotic denial and cruelty-as-romance to audience backlash, Valentine’s Day chaos, and why this movie feels designed to make people uncomfortable.

Is it brilliant? Is it too much? Or is that the whole idea?
