It’s on the Leaving Cert syllabus so many students will be keen to see the latest adaptation

Is Wuthering Heights suitable for teenagers? The film carries a 15A cert, so yes, technically, it is. But lots of things that are 15A – even those specifically aimed at teenagers like Emily in Paris – have a lot of sometimes quite graphic sex. Does that make them inappropriate? What else, apart from sex, makes something Âunsuitable?
Obviously there’s drugs, violence, that sort of thing. But there are also, I think, attitudes, perspectives, world views, that are not helpful for young minds.
