Review: I love this movie. It is one of my favorites. If you want a love sick, dark, and tear jerker movie this would be it. I really don't care if it matches the original book. Is it a good movie or isn't it. I cried. Good ending. Beautifl costumes and sets. Beautifully done.

Summary: Twin Soul Tear-Jerker
Review: I loved the Olivier version of Wuthering Heights until this version came along. Ralph Fiennes is perfect as the intense, passionate, gorgeous, bitter and very dark Heathcliff. I never read the book but to me the film was awesome and I never miss it when it's on. So I finally purchased the DVD and I recommend it to those interested in stories about the immortality of love between soul mates.

Summary: What's the big deal?
Review: I read the book and it was good enough but I'd hardly consider it one of the greatest loves of all time. I thought perhaps since movies are more visual this might alter my opinion, but it did not. I don't know why Cathy and Heathcliff are considered to have had such a grande tragic love. I don't really understand the appeal of the Cathy character at all. Why do the men in her life find her so irresistable? She seems completely self-absorbed and brings most of her troubles on herself, and certainly doesn't exert herself to change any of the bad things that happen. Also, this film seems to have really toned down the Cathy character. In the book she was sort of fiery and volatile. In this she's not much of anythng. It drives me nuts. Plus, Juliette Binoche who I ususally consider quite beautiful for some reason looked strange to me in this role. Maybe her hair was too poofy, I don't know. And I figured, epic love story, Ralph Fiennes will be dreamy, right? But no. He had bad hair, too. So not much happening by way of eye candy.

Summary: Not a Period Piece
Review: I waited YEARS for this film to be released on DVD, and it is now one of the brightest gems in my movie collection. If you're looking for the best adaptation of Emily Bronte's novel, then this is the film for you. Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes are perfectly cast as Catherine and Heathcliff, and although they both do a superb job, Fiennes steals the show as Heathcliff. The scenes leading up to and directly following Catherine's death are absolutely heartbreaking, and I cry every time I watch it! Binoche is wonderful in her dual role, and this is the only film version of "Wuthering Heights" that manages to accurately depict the beauty of Bronte's novel.

Summary: Cathy.... CATHY......
Review: Well, i can't get enough of this film. Angst, unrequited love, heart broken breakdowns and all that with Juliette B to boot: where can you go wrong?Sadly, in England. "We don't like her French accent" the poms moaned, despite her having voiced the entire film in her second language,, and thankfully without a grating Yorkshire brogue or even worse, a Valleygirl whine. No, really there is nothing wrong with Ms Binoche at all, neither in looks, acting, nor voice. And Raif ! now you're a superstar, but back then you were just a moody young thing - and perfect for the part. Scenery is great - music was haunting - direction, as usual, was superb. Kosminsky is probably my favourite director, but he's only done 2 films you might have seen in America - the rest were in England, released over the years. Worth migrating for that alone...
