Wuthering Heights (2011)

"More interesting in theory than it is to watch."

"Embraces the novel’s rough-hewn core and emotional cataclysms head on."

"Faithful and bold adaptation."

"An admirable, frustrating attempt to strip away the novel's inherited "classic" status and restore its raw and earthy passion."

"Perhaps above everything else, Arnold returns us to the most potent fact about the Cathy and Heathcliff love affair: it is a love affair between equals, not between a woman with coquettish "erotic capital" and a man with property and status."

"Successful in reimagining the story's archetypal emotions in the story, bringing it closer to its passionate elements."

"The book shouldn't be required reading for the film to make sense."

"An audaciously and satisfyingly stark, direct and radical approach to an oft-filmed literary classic."

"Captures the setting of the book, and its darkness, wonderfully, but goes too far towards edgy in its quest to avoid the usual literary clichés."

"Arnold's newest testament to passion and squalor strikes a tone somewhere between Cary Fukinaga's emo "Jane Eyre" and Sophia Coppola's revisionist-hip "Marie Antoinette.""

"It's an intense, uncompromising take that restores some of the shock that made Wuthering Heights so notable when it first appeared."
