• Really good version of the book
  I've read the book "Wuthering Heights" many times and it's my favorite love story, so passionate and real. So I wanted to see an appropriate film version to this wonderful book. And I must admit, that this film completely catches the spirit and atmosphere of the book. I think it's very difficult to play the leading roles, especially the complicated Heathcliff's charachter. It's very hard not to make Heathcliff too human and otherwise not too savage. He is not a romantic hero and it's hard to show his... more info

• The closest so far
  Having seen four versions of Wuthering Heights and read the novel many times for my website, I rate this as the closest version to the book.

  this is a fairly good adaptation,the acting is well casted and good throughout-especially the lead roles,the setting and mood is also spot on,the production is only let down by its length which takes away from the novels emphasis on the deep,yet perverse character relationships and development therefore feeling somewhat rushed at times (this seems to be a common problem with ITV versions of classic books-obviously due to commercial commitments)but overall,it's a worthwhile purchase especially at the price!... more info

• Not a disappointment
  I studied this book to death at A-level, and so I did a lot of research into various versions of the film. Although I was a tiny bit dubious about buying it, I haven't been disappointed.

  Heathcliff's character is just as horrible and cruel as I have always pictured it.... more info
