It’s not even going to have a terrible cover of the Kate Bush song so what is the point

I do actually like the Charli songs released so far, but it does feel like she just decided to make the album she wanted to make and presented it in a “go on then, do something with that” way.

Still haven’t watched the Andrea Arnold one from 2011 and she’s a director I actually like…and yet still booked to see it on opening day. I can’t resist a zeitgeist film

Not fussed about this film, didn’t care for Fennell’s previous two films but feel like she still gets an absurd amount of hate, people act like she ran over their dog or something. She’s just a lousy successful director, there’s loads of those!

Sounds like this might turn out to be legit brilliant…

She’s also a rich, we hate those too

Loved Saltburn for being total nonsense, one of the great final sequences in any film. Dunno if this could do the same, but there’s a chance

Emerald Fennell is a cool name, nobody can take that away from her

Shame she never really got to be known as Emerald ‘John Robins’s sister in law’ Fennell
Really surprising how a star of Sunday evening pensioners favourite Call The Midwife went on to do all these films isn’t it?

I liked the book when I read it for A Level (30 years ago, yikes), and the Andrea Arnold adaptation, and the Kate Bush song.
No opinions on Emerald Fennell as I’ve not seen anything by her. (Not sure if this gains or loses me indie points, if anyone can advise.)
Probably not going to pay actual money to go see this, but might catch it on the TV sometime when it’s far too late to share thoughts on this thread. Thanks for reading this boring post.

I am broadly looking forward to this film! In the sense that I’m very curious to see what they’ve done with it and think that it might potwntially be fun.
That said, I get the feeling that this film has a lot in common with del Toro’s Frankenstein — not just because of Tall Boi but because they both go for the VIBES in a big way. Like, highly subjective non-book-faithful vibes.
I have not read Withering Heights and the obly other film version I’ve seen is Andrea Arbold’s take from 2014 (?), and that was incredibly bleak. Probably more faithful to the book from what I know.
When I was doing my bachelor’s degree in postmodernism at peak pretentious undergrad student levels I would’ve probably wet my pants over this film, so make of that what you will.

I’m the Brönte Country Kid. I do wanna see it but will probably wait for streamers.
Think both her films have been decent ideas done in way that is completely style over substance, so sort expect this to be the same.
I’ll say this for the seventieth time on these boards; I wish Robert Eggers would adapt Wuthering Heights instead.
I think if I perceive it as a film not really based on the book at all I get less annoyed about its existence but if I separate it from the book it doesn’t seem like the kind of thing I’m interested in watching. I switched off A Promising Young Woman after 20 minutes and did not like Saltburn. However I look forward to reading the reviews of this.

Wouldn’t bother with the Arnold one. Was a let down
