    Wuthering Heights is a model of how to bring a classic novel kicking and screaming into the twenty-first century.

    For less patient viewers, the film might play out like an endurance test, a two-hour documentary on wind. But as unforgiving as the glacially paced film is, it's nonetheless utterly absorbing - a cool pink tongue flicking against an open wound. [18 Oct 2012]

    It's just that there isn't enough story - the book shouldn't be required reading for the film to make sense.

    The bottom line with Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights is that the writer-director has taken Emily Brontë's tale of undying passion and rendered it passionless.
