Wuthering Heights movie

This past weekend I went to watch the new Wuthering Heights movie. I reread the book recently and was really excited about watching the movie. I saw an interview with the Director and she said it was a different interpretation.. It sure was. No need to read the book.
I still thought it was pretty good. The scenes of the landscapes were amazing and it was about an intense and destructive relationship..

Anyone else go watch? Planning to watch?
What did you think?

I don't know. Eventually I'll end up watching the movie. Perhaps I'll wait till it's on streaming. I'm of an age that William Wyler's version was often on the television. Laurence Olivier played Heathcliff with an icy, almost demonic energy. That's something that I do remember from the times when watching it as a child. Of course, that movie focused less on the detail of Heathcliff's wrath post Cathy's death, but more so on the sheer complexity of Heathcliff and Cathy's relationship in the first place. If one doesn't mind that it did also completely omitted characters from the book, it nevertheless perfectly captures the very essence of the bleak, chilling, haunting Yorkshire Moors that Bronte described in it. Some claimed that director Wyler was trying to say that both Heathcliff and Catherine were no good, and I must agree with that

@val70 yes, I agree with that as well. This new movie is a far reach from the book. So it’s just a beautiful picture of a toxic romance in a beautiful setting. The dresses are amazing to see though.
