Diagonaldi Very well executed
Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
stephen_wild Life on the moors is far bleaker than ever Heathcliffe and Cathy's trials and tribulations would have us believe as a doomed romance.It is presented here as a Tragedy wherein everyone is trapped mentally and physically in a hellish life into which they have been born with no escape possible.A thoughtful take on existentialism. And most definitely not for Americans or those that favour Hollywood cartoon acting and violence.
Frame-By-Frame SPOILER: A welcome change from the British film industry away from lame comedies and its obsession with the plight of minorities and urban dramas to this excellent but disturbing Northern masterpiece. You certainly won't leave the cinema uplifted but if you're a drama fan you'll be well satisfied. I was more shocked than I thought I would to see the lasting effect of child abuse. This is really the foundation of the film which shows how the effects of a dark family secret can resonate for ever. Some excellent strong performances by the actors. This is a very visual film and the use of audio to enhance the impact of the scenes is well worth a special mention.My rating 8/10 Highly recommended if you like powerful dramas
CarrieWhite500 Could have been so much better had it been given a better script. Ruth Wilson is very good despite this, but overall the film lacks punch and won't pull an audience in. Generally I love English films, until now ...
del hart If it had a better script, a better telling of the story and a better director this could have been a great film, instead it is just a farming fighting siblings plod along, sometimes hard to understand the accents, and with a lot of films that don't actually tell you what going to happen, but you can sort of work it out, well with this there is no working out, the whole story line is flawed, and there is not enough dialogue to help you understand the full story. Shame really Ruth Wilson does a fantastic job, if one did not know better she could have been that person, and not a film star, the rest of the cast did what they had to do with such a bad script...........Great scenery, mostly filmed i think in North Yorkshire.
