hattyukigyo The Heathcliff played by Tom Hardy is the closest to the book-Heathcliff out of the film-Heathliffs I ever saw. Hardy displays best the brutal force and vengeance that made Heathcliff not "the one" in terms of a husband in any version of the story. I think both him and the child playing young H. were doing very well. Apart from the "little flaw" that Heatchliff vowed on more then one occasion in the book that he would never ever disrespect Cathy's will of having something. He never once made comments on wealth... Cathy was duely full of fire, although she was a bit too meek overall. Film-makers forget that even when Cathy dresses up like little lady, she is still a wild creature. Besides, at the end she becomes MAD. Sorry, but when she dies, she is far from being the poor mother that dies in giving birth. She is self-centered until the last. As a child, she was already using the same slightly haughty manners, and never loses this attitude (and never progresses too badly in it either.). Here, she was just too meek, while Edgar was just too cold-hearted. His true colors should be gentleness and meekness, who chooses to be buried with Cathy on the moors. Despite these interpretations, all of the characters, Hindley, Isabella and Nelly included, were just very good choices. They were looking like (and having looks of) the true characters. I adored especially how facial expressions of Cathy and her brother Hindley were matching. (They should have the same eyes.) Youngest Catherine were duely different in colors, but not in the body movement and in the facial expressions. She had just the same way of talking, and running like her mum. I think this was the best film-adaptation so far, but it should have been even more faithful to the book to become "perfect" :)

dallasryan This Version of Wuthering Heights is gritty and very up to date. Tom Hardy plays most of his characters, almost always, in a very unsympathetic way, yet his likability is always there. Hardy plays his characters with a lot of truth and if he does show any vulnerability within his characters(where we as the audience show sympathy towards him), it's always just for a moment, but there's never anything cliché about his performances and that's what makes him one of the best actors out there today as well as what makes this version of Wuthering Heights a great movie. That and also the beautiful Charlotte Riley, Riley and Hardy's chemistry is spot on(which doesn't surprise me that they are engaged in real life, their chemistry is amazing in this movie). This version of Wuthering Heights shows in the greatest way of any movie I've ever seen how people can love one another and hate one another to the most highest extremes, being connected at the 'soul' so to say(Although, the hate is really more of a cover up for extreme pain inside, relating to this movie at least). Very relatable in the sense where it shows how miserable we can make our lives when we don't let things go and we don't forgive where, at the source of it all, we're ultimately lying to ourselves about our true feelings, as is the case in this film. Not an easy movie to watch in the sense that the chemistry is so good, that it pains you, as the movie viewer, to see the ultimate outcome, but nonetheless a great movie and one to see for Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley fans.

Suzy I wasn't expecting to like this version because I actually dislike all the other adaptations, but my god, this is absolutely fantastic!! It's the sexiest and most entertaining Wuthering Heights I've seen. I've watched this film over 10 times. I love it to pieces. I thought it was superbly cast and the characters are so perfectly portrayed. Tom Hardy as Heathcliff was just..magnificent. He nailed that psychotic, bad boy role like no other. I found myself loving and hating him all at once. Now I can't imagine anyone else playing it. He's a fantastic actor. I wish more people knew of him in the States! Also the music in this version is so beautiful.

evelinute This movie contains very strong emotions and leaves you out of words after watching it. The main actors play great and make you enjoy the movie a lot. I have never seen Tom Hardy in a movie before, but this role he plays just perfectly, it suits him a lot. Charlotte Riley plays her role greatly as well. Also, the environment and costumes for the movie were selected perfectly as it resembles old times very good. Overall, this movie is based on Emile Bronte book "Wuthering heights" and tells about endless love with all the most beautiful and painful emotions it may cause. The other really strong movie that I could compare it with is "Mary Bryant" (with Romola Garai in main role).
