Critic Reviews

  • Derek Elley, Variety

    ...weakened by a wobbly central perf by Gallic thesp Juliette Binoche.

  • Dragan Antulov, Draxblog Movie Reviews

    WUTHERING HEIGHTS could be recommended only to those already interested in the novel.

  • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

    Filled with a dark brooding atmosphere suitable to its theme of doomed love.

  • , Reel.com

    Though Rivette's points about class ... seem a bit muddied, the story of the two lovers is marvelously told.

  • Elspeth Haughton, Apollo Guide

    It's an unmotivated, loose script with a rambling tale and impotent casting that degrades this otherwise mildly satisfying hanky-fest.

    They tried their best, but it's just not good enough sadly. Ending is lame, and Ralph doesn't really quite cut it as the dark and brooding Heathcliff. Although I did like them including Bronte herself at the begining, it was rather original. Saying that, I did watch this… More
