Wuthering Heights

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.

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.

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?!

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.

Genuinely impressed with how good an adaptation this is, staying mostly true to the book. I liked the few liberties they took. The acting was raw, visceral, off the charts performance by Bryan Ferriter. Nelly Dean and little Cathy were so very well done too. In the original book, I hated Heathcliff start to finish. This adaptation brought out his vulnerability quite well and I loved how soft he'd gone in the end. I loved this far more than the other adaptations. A bit slow and lengthy but only because they remained faithful to the book and its original pacing. Loved the moody vibe and the ambience too. Yes, there had been problems with some sound design but that can be easily overlooked given it was built on limited budget. The movie did exceeding well on all other fronts, especially the direction and the acting. I'll definitely be re-watching this one. It made me love the story even more. What a piece of art!
