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

    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 Brontė's tale of undying passion and rendered it passionless.
