The horror TV show Dead Ringers is based on the 1977 novel Twins by Bari Wood and Jack Geasland, though it’s also strongly influenced by David Cronenberg’s film adaptation. Despite these sources, the Prime Video miniseries is remarkably fresh and features a stunning performance from Rachel Weisz, who brilliantly plays both of the Mantle twins.
In her review, the author praised Emerald Fennell’s take on Wuthering Heights, calling it a striking adaptation. She suggested the film would have been even stronger if it had fully embraced Fennell’s personal vision and been titled Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights instead of using quotation marks to hint at it. Ultimately, she found it a unique and welcome change of pace from typical big-budget movies, especially for those willing to approach it as its own interpretation rather than a strict adaptation of the book.
For example, the fourth episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms showed a key event in the history of the Targaryen family. This new spin-off series is more focused than the other Game of Thrones shows, telling the story of Ser Duncan (Peter Claffey), a wandering knight, and his young squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), who secretly comes from the Targaryen line.

Emerald Fennell’s latest film, Wuthering Heists, is surprisingly her most successful, even though it’s also her most frivolous. Fennell excels at creating visually stunning and immediately gratifying scenes – think lavish imagery set to energetic pop music – that bypass intellectual analysis and tap into pure enjoyment. However, she hasn’t quite mastered delivering films with strong, meaningful themes. Her first film, Promising Young Woman, started strong but ultimately struggled with its ambitious attempt to explore the complexities of anger surrounding sexual assault. Saltburn was visually striking but lacked a clear focus in its commentary on class. With Wuthering Heights, Fennell abandons the pressure to deliver a profound message, and the result is liberating. She recognizes the core of Brontë’s story – a passionate, obsessive, and destructive relationship between two people – and boils it down to its essence: two complicated individuals drawn to each other despite themselves. This understanding makes the film’s playful and sensual approach even more effective.
