In my opinion, one reason to watch this correct-yet-lacking-in-bite production is Matthew Macfadyen's Hareton Earnshaw (I wish he had a bigger role though).
ReplyDeleteMost WH versions tend to lack in bite as you put it. It's a shame but it's true that the feelings that the novel conveys are not easily adapted on screen.
