It was ... true to the original?
swkvyjrw26 January 2023
As a preface, I have read Wuthering Heights several times and adore the story. This movie did not necessarily miss the mark; as far as the plot goes, it was brilliant. It got everything it needed. I wish I could say the same thing for the acting. The actors themselves were beautiful and (for the most part) accurate, especially considering it looked like they were working on a specific budget for the film. But the actual acting? It wasn't there. It really wasn't. Nelly did a good job, but that's all I can say. The entire movie sounded like the original audio had problems so they had to voice over the entire film. It is also a lengthy watch. I don't regret watching it, but wouldn't watch it again.

There is any speech education in actor schools anymore?
corabaerger19 April 2022
I read the book several times, I saw all film adaptions, and four of it more of one times. And normally I enjoy different interpretations. I saw now this Versions but gave up after 90 min now, because I didnt understanding one word step by step, when the audiosound was instabil and stranged tecnicalla, specially Cathy with her horse teeth problems seems never to have had speech or declamation or at least logopedical lessons. She has such worse pronounciation that I understood nothing, and she is far away from interpretating text, how normally it s expected by studied actors and her overacting is far away from the adequat Interpretation by the Cathy of Binoche or Kate Bush, or specially the 2009 and 2011 version. Her Motivations and character are totally unclear. Only what she has common with original Cathy is this strange uncertain refusing Borderline character without any empathy. Next to Nelly, Feriter as Heathcliff is the only cast in this film (but also often too much verzerrt with audiotechnic to understand what he says:, whose portrayal corrisponds with his interest alternative characterization of the book characterband stands next to the most expressive incoporations of Fiennes, the too young Dalton, and Hardy, but who all three show all also a better declamation artistry and variable characterizating. Old school.

I liked The mixed nightmarish cut but I hoped with more than 130 min there were less optical or atmosferic moments and and more of the important scenes and dialogs of the book let out in the other versions. Instead there are less dialogs as in the most shortened ones. And the Edgar cast is a nightmare comparised by the cast in the other versions. Same Haerton and Catherine. You ask only, also why she married him when she also had no interest to help Heathcliff with her position and money?!

What did I just watch?
louismuzzy26 August 2023
Could be the worst film of all time. I mean the sound is out of sync with the characters talking, the acting is high school at best, and the rain effects quite literally look like a watering can over the camera. I think everyone involved could do with a deep breath and a review of their life before continuing in their respective careers in cinema. I'm not really sure what to do with the additional 200 characters I need to enter as I think I've summed it up quite well already. I'd probably consider suggesting watching anything else other than this, watching grass grow or counting your feet would be an excellent start.

Epic story
Henry_Maynard29 April 2022
Well crafted story. Great adaptation. This was truly an epic indie film. I really liked the scope of the film for what the budget was they had. Very well done.

This was an excellent version,very well done.

Hi! And this version I ranks right up there now as one of my most favourites! It really does,I really mean that!

And why do I say that?

Because I just love everything about the show,how they got the ages right etc,etc and how it stays very close to the book and how the book was written,and didn't take any liberties or ab lib parts of the film as the 2009 version with Tom Hardy did..they took quite a few liberties with that version, also I remember I was expecting the infamous death scene where Cathy and Heathcliff say their final goodbyes...but it was hardly anything but just fizzed out,(so irksome) but this version did not do that,but delivered everything that I expect out of a Wuthering Heights movie.

But I think what I enjoyed most about this version was that well it didn't do 1/2 the book like some versions do,but told the whole story because if you're going to do something then do it right like this 2022 version did.

And I'd really recommend this to my family and friends I really don't think you'll won't be disappointed in this movie I know I wasn't.

Two minds about this film....
skpn12330 March 2022
While the story was complex and mostly dark, there was a beauty to this film and I was glad I didn't stop as 1/3 as I was tempted to do..... be patient with the slow build, a rich representation of Bronte's unfolds and finds a gentle end.

Bryan Ferriter is definitely a compelling young actor and created a memorable and haunting portrayal of Heathcliffe.... I would like to see further work of his.
