Having just read the book in our book club I thought I’d watch this version of the film. I was disappointed as they cut off half of the book in this film and in my opinion it made the film feel sloppy and rushed. I would’ve included the plot of the whole book

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, o filme cenas desinteressantes e chatas, o elenco não ajuda em quase nada, e eu não recomendo esse filme.

Absolutely no chemistry between Cathy and Heathcliff which is what this story is all about. Very Disappointing.

During the two hours of the film, the actors said only a few lines. Alas, a terrible adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's book. The characters and the vividness of the story is gone. Just boring and uninteresting.

Wake me up when it's finished! So slow, and boring as hell... I fell asleep. To have an African boy playing Heathcliff was just bloody ridiculous in my opinion!

One of several film adaptations of Emily Bronte's famous classic novel, this 2011 film by Andrea Arnold is a heartbreaking story of romance happening in a backdrop of prejudice, physical and mental cruelty, betrayal, and misunderstanding, with solid performances.

This is the feminine equivalent to a Sylvester Stallone movie for guys, only SS doesn't need a classic novel to disgrace. Just read the book.

It's not good at all, dull and misery atmosphere with the lack of music. A lot of silence

So I watched Wuterhing heights for the first time & then I went onto to Wikipedia to read about the original story line. I was expecting to find a similar story line to this film, but that wasn't the case. I'm not sure I understand why this version has changed the original story line to include a black orphan boy who speaks no English and is racially insulted by this adopted brother and others around him. This isn't even a thing in the original story. No mention that Heathcliff was an African orphan, who spoke no English & was racially abused by the families. I think this has completely defected from the original story, so for that I am marking this film as a 3. It was good, it kept my attention but not happy that the original was completely changed to include the topic of racism & a character Heathcliff who didn't speak English and wasn't from England. This has not followed the original at all. Sorry I like stories to be told as they were originally written by the author.

Beautiful to look at but not much happened. No soundtrack that I can recall. I'd say it was the most boring drama interspersed with a nature documentary.

This movie was boring as hell, i think the director prioritize the visuals more than the script on this movie. Cathy and Heathcliff has 0 chemistry on this movie. The shaky camera when the characters were running really makes me dizzy, i understand that sometimes shaky cameras when the characters were running adds realistic effect so i as an audience can feel like i'm involved in this scene (hope this makes sense.) but the shaky camera was so SHAKY and i feel like throwing up watching the running scenes. I feel like this movie would be better if it followed the book (like really... followed the book, from the start to the end, from how Mrs. Nelly were the one who narrated the story and Catherine Earnshaw's daughter story. (i do not support the incest) )

The script is weak, the actors are bad, and the movie doesn't reflect the idea of ​​the book.

A masterpiece. I think the roughening up of the traditional classic novel film was a bold, genius move, and teenage versions of Cathy and Heathcliff were wonderful. I think the negative reviewers are just not brave enough to face the grit and sensusality of of a truly gothic and romantic aesthetic, which is a shame. The one letdown is a timid, rail-thin and languid Kaya Scodelario, who as others have commented here, didn't match the perfect teenage Cathy in any way. Many have commented on the two minutes of abuse to dog actors: I don't know how you survive a typical fim on Netflix if you can't watch that. As for the choice of a black character, this subtle twist of the original plot and narrative was done compellingly. I love Andrea Arnold but didn't know she directed it until after I watched it.

There was no point for all the animal abuse in the movie. They skipped key things that could have shown Heathcliff's cold side, and instead just let him aimlessly murder animals.

A revisitation of the story not only difficult to follow by itself, but impossible to understand if you don't know the original book. After 30 minutes, I do not see a message which is worth to continue watching it.

The novel was great but i am not ahuge fan of the movie

This movie is so gross and horrific that It made me want to scream.

As far as adaptations go this is the worst and rips out the beautiful, tormented soul of the novel. Andrea Arnold's film does have some redeeming qualities: she captures the wild beautiful landscapes and nature of the moors stunningly and Heathcliff and Cathy (young and a little bit less young) are good (and really beautiful people). The problem is they feel like they aren't in a period drama. The entire film feels too modern but in period dress. I can appreciate the new path Arnold was trying to take with Heathcliff being a black man, but while there was build up there wasn't follow through to see where that change would lead. I found many changes, including the liberal use of the "N word," to be shocking and upsetting and just for the shock value. The ending was too abrupt to deliver a conclusion to this change. There was plenty of time to have one if they'd cut out some of the gratuitous shots of people's hair shot with a hand camera.

I watched for about 25 minutes, then I could no longer bear witnessing one of the best novels of all time turned into this drivel. It did have some nice moments - the fingering of a feather, the sun and wind in young Cathy's hair - but a movie has got to be more than that. Some conversation would help.

I once followed the train tracks by my house east into the overgrown dense foliage. The air was thick and the swell of early June crept into my nose something fierce. I could hear the cicadas rattling about within the trees that overlapped what was left of the path. I walked a mile until i came across the carcass of what looked like a dead dog rotting away beneath an old weathered tree. It's matted fur decomposing as maggots and creepy crawlies devoured what was left it. I just stared at it for a 10 minutes then felt ill to my stomach... I remember that day vividly for some reason. it was dreamlike yet so distinct.... just like this movie.? -(YOUTUBE USER, NULL)
