Reviews
WUTHERING HEIGHTS could be recommended only to those already interested in the novel.
Filled with a dark brooding atmosphere suitable to its theme of doomed love.
...weakened by a wobbly central perf by Gallic thesp Juliette Binoche.
Peter Kosminsky's Wuthering Heights is a drone, depressing, and exhaustively revolting excuse for entertainment
It's an unmotivated, loose script with a rambling tale and impotent casting that degrades this otherwise mildly satisfying hanky-fest.
