Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

fabienne I wanted to give it a rating of 8 or 9 but that wouldn't be fair as it would come just from me left with a feeling of sadness for this unhappy love story which is exactly what the movie wanted to reach. I read in other reviews that people were not happy of how Heathcliff was portrayed - too less cruel and letting the viewer feel sympathy for him. That exactly is what made me love this movie! It made me suffer with both sides Catherine and Heathcliff for their passionate love for each other which they could never express fully. Both actors playing the lead roles must be amazingly talented, everything was so real, I didn't want to miss even one second of their acting. The movie shows the destructive side of passion and love mixed with a society that does not allow anyone living a life outside of what was set for him/her at birth. It's been a long time ago I've last enjoyed a movie so much! When the movie finished I was left with a feeling of an unfinished and not lived love. The last scene of them at the window, both dead now, didn't in the slightest satisfy the need to see them enjoying themselves more. Great movie for romance and period drama junkies like me!

evelinute This movie contains very strong emotions and leaves you out of words after watching it. The main actors play great and make you enjoy the movie a lot. I have never seen Tom Hardy in a movie before, but this role he plays just perfectly, it suits him a lot. Charlotte Riley plays her role greatly as well. Also, the environment and costumes for the movie were selected perfectly as it resembles old times very good. Overall, this movie is based on Emile Bronte book "Wuthering heights" and tells about endless love with all the most beautiful and painful emotions it may cause. The other really strong movie that I could compare it with is "Mary Bryant" (with Romola Garai in main role).

wcashley I loved this version. Tom Hardy is a genius, and his Heathcliff has stayed with me long after the film finished. Charlotte Riley is also very good, as are the other cast members. I've read the comments about Heathcliff and Cathy having sex, and this being a diversion from the original book, however, Emily Bronte makes it clear in her text that Heathcliff and Cathy spend many unsupervised hours on the moors together. This in itself was shocking in the days when every unmarried young lady required a chaperone, but I think Emily was leaving it up to us, the readers, to decide what Heathcliff and Cathy did with their time together. I think the interpretation in this film is a valid one. Tom Hardy's musings at the end, on his life, and on the possible futility of his revenge were very convincing and haunting. This is a film you won't forget in a hurry.

TheLittleSongbird True, it doesn't always follow the overall structure of the novel by Emily Bronte, and there are one or two slow moments. But it is beautifully done, and does a competent job of adapting a truly complicated book to screen. I don't think it is the best adaptation of the book, but it definitely not the worst. The adaptation was lovingly designed with stunning locations and exquisite costumes, and the photography was excellent. The performances were excellent, the two leads Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley were both superb as Heathcliff and Cathy, and Andrew Lincoln and Sarah Lancashire give able support. The scriptwriter Peter Bowker, who wrote the script for the wonderful BBC drama Occupation, does a good job with the dialogue, which was in general well written and well crafted. All in all, as an adaptation it is beautifully done, not always faithful to the novel, but the performances and the visual design compensates. 8/10 Bethany Cox
