Slow, dull, uninspiring, not unlike my physics teacher.
Love it!!!
Visually stunning. It captures the harshness of that time better than any other version I've seen. It's one of the hardest stories to tell on screen. No matter what half the book is always cut out. With that in mind this was one of the best adaptations.
Best adaptation of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights ever. Perfectly captures the language, attitudes and landscape of rural 19th century Yorkshire. Rich with all the sorrowful misery of the novel. Those reared by gentle folk may be unable to imagine a time and a place like this one, that they can not vicariously experience it here, is unfortunate. Happily, Hollywood has plenty of formula films for them.
Horrible movie not worth your time. Extremely slow paced and not very well done.
