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.

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.

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!

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.
