Slate Troy Patterson

Stylizing Brontë's broad strokes, the creators of this latest Wuthering Heights turn weak literature into muscular pop and contrive something perfectly suited to that very audience of Twilight-zoners.

Variety Brian Lowry

Writer Peter Bowker ("Blackpool") has widened the lens to include the characters' heirs, but the last hour of this 2½-hour production (presented in two unequal parts) lacks quite the wallop that part one delivers once it gets rolling.

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert

I can't say this "Wuthering Heights" is a mess; it contains enough physical beauty and dramatic affect to sweep you along to the bitter end. You could do worse. But if you are craving an operatic story of love that couldn't survive earthly form, you'd be better off getting out your reading glasses.

Los Angeles Times Robert Lloyd

In spite of a good deal of bodily contact, the sparks never really fly between Heathcliff and Cathy (Charlotte Riley), though they are both obviously hot. We take their passion as read, rather than felt.

San Francisco Chronicle David Wiegand

No one could make any of this completely credible, but at least it could have had a passable shot with more directorial restraint on the part of Coky Giedroyc.
