Renaissance M @RenaissanceMan Jul 8 Grim, plodding, and told completely from Heathcliff's perspective, this adaptation misses the mark and interjects Black/White racial relations into a setting where it doesn't belong. The film also struggles mightily to convey the passage of time in a story where doing so is paramount. See more Monica M @CamillaG Feb 26 I gave it a chance until they showed Heathcliff plunging a knife into a sheep's neck. The storyline dragged and the the shaky, constantly zoomed-in visuals made it difficult to understand the scene. Didn't get halfway. See more Linda R. @lindarusiecki Feb 23 Decided to try watching this adaptation after reading the book. Where the book is animated and passionate, barely anyone talks in this movie. The movie is entirely lacking in a soundtrack. The quiet is unnerving. Where the moors are described as a beautiful country, this movie manages to make everything look ugly and dreary. Wuthering Heights appears to be a grimy and dilapidated hovel throughout the whole movie (which is not how I visualized it when reading the book). Heathcliff and Cathy just seem so boring, both in their childhood and as adults. Couldn’t even finish it. See more Louise S @Loulabelle Feb 21 This version of Wuthering Heights really leans into the Gothic darkness, and that’s what makes it work. Everything feels heavy, raw, and atmospheric from the stormy moors to the shadowy interiors. It’s not polished or romanticised, it’s gritty and intense in a way that feels more real. The costumes are a textured, worn, and grounded in the environment rather than decorative. They reflect the characters perfectly, especially Heathcliff’s roughness and Catherine’s shift between control and chaos. What I liked most is the relationship. It’s not soft romance it’s obsessive, uncomfortable, and kind of electric. The darker, more sensual moments feel tense rather than overdone, which adds to the overall mood. Overall, it’s a bold, moody take that embraces the story’s darkness instead of softening it.

See more Carlie B @Alicer Feb 16 Earthy and rain soaked. The way I pictured the novel. Young Cathy was particularly well cast. Only frustration is the story always being cut short on film. Arnold's austere style would have been prefect for Heathcliff's drawn out revenge and descent into madness. See more Read all reviews
