In Lithuania, the film has also made a noteworthy impact, attracting large audiences upon its release in theatres. The success has sparked vigorous discussions among viewers regarding its portrayal of the source material. While many praised the cinematography and visual appeal, others have critiqued the film for its perceived over-sexualization, noting that the book’s characters do not share as many intimate moments as depicted on screen. These varying opinions indicate a divide among audiences regarding adaptations of classic literature.
Despite the critiques, the on-screen chemistry between the lead actors, Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, has captivated many viewers, suggesting that the film's strong performances could play a significant role in its ongoing success.
