19 February, 2026 - MELBOURNE, VIC - Host, presenter and cultural commentator Ben Sorensen attended the Melbourne premiere celebrations for Emerald Fennell’s bold new adaptation of Wuthering Heights — sharing behind-the-scenes moments with his audience and publishing a fresh, sharply-observed review on his blog shortly after.
Sorensen, known for his quick wit and event-hosting polish, documented the night across social media (including a “pictorial journey” from the event) and used the occasion to spotlight what he calls the story’s surprisingly modern pulse — where obsession, class, entitlement and “romance” collide in full view.
In his review, Sorensen frames the film less as a polite period piece and more as a contemporary-feeling examination of power and emotional intensity — noting, pointedly, that “period drama” doesn’t automatically mean “polite.”
The film, written and directed by Emerald Fennell, stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, and arrives in cinemas in mid-February.
