Do not waste your time with this adaptation of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. I believe the author would most vehemently reject this adaptation as well. It is not true to the book and the screen writer took liberties with the story. It destroys the essence of the story. It begins more in the middle of the book and the characters are shallow. It's a confusing story as it jumps around and focuses on Heathcliff and Cathy characters which are unrecognizable from the characters in the novel. I am amazed when I read praises for this shallow, and cartoonish adaptation. If you want to see a good true to the story of Wuthering Heights - rent the 1998 Masterpiece Theatre with Matthew macfadyen as Hareton.Robert Cavanah and Orla Brady. That version is loyal to the book.
score 1/10
