MovieMail's Review

Emily Brontë’s haunting gothic novel of ungoverned, thwarted love and cruelty across desolate landscapes features two of the most memorable lovers in literature in Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff. This 2009 ITV adaptation - the first in ten years - is one of the best yet, a lavish, dark and brooding costume drama that was filmed, appropriately, on the bleak moorlands and in the beautiful stately homes across the Yorkshire Dales.

Of course, Wuthering Heights is all about the central relationship, and there is genuine passionate chemistry between the leads here. Tom Hardy is convincing in his portrayal of the orphan Heathcliff, his soul in torment, tortured by his love for his childhood soulmate Cathy, played here by the beautiful newcomer Charlotte Riley. The drama was adapted by top television writer Peter Bowker (Flesh and Blood, Blackpool); lovers of the original work should note that his changed ending has proved controversial!

Devoted companions from childhood when Cathy's family took him in, the love between Heathcliff and Cathy grows as they become older, but the pair are always kept apart by circumstances out of their control. When Cathy dies unexpectedly during childbirth, Heathcliff's pain is too much to bear and he sets out on a path to his own destruction.
