The production has received backlash for the casting of Margot Robbie as Catherine and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, with critics calling for a Black actor to play the latter character, described in the book as having dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin. Fennell explained her decisions, recalling the moment she wanted to scream when she saw Elordi with sideburns on the Saltburn set, as he reminded her of Dirk Bogarde and looked exactly like the illustration of Heathcliff on the first book that I read.

As a great British artist once said: "Everything is romantic". That songwriter was, of course, Brat-in-chief Charli XCX, who has stayed at the forefront of the zeitgeist for most of the last two years with her lime green record, complete with remixes, re-releases and multiple killer performances. And it seems like Brat summer has extended all the way to moors of West Yorkshire, where the up-and-coming film adaptation of Emily Brontë's classic Wuthering Heights is set.
