How we stay independent. Editorial scores are not for sale. TVI may take on paid advisory or research work, but no commercial relationship buys coverage, advance access to scores, favorable treatment, or a change to a published finding. We pay for our own streaming subscriptions, and no reviewer sees sponsor data or affiliate revenue tied to a score. More about how we work →

The TVI Take

Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche make an extraordinary pairing, her Catherine luminous, his Heathcliff volcanic, in the most faithful major film adaptation of the novel. Peter Kosminsky's direction is conventional but serves the material.

Fiennes gives one of his finest early performances.

A separate signal · outside data
Critics and audiences disagree on this one
Critics (Rotten Tomatoes)31/100
Audiences (IMDb)66/100

Audiences rate it well above critics here, a 35-point gap. A strong split like this usually flags something worth knowing going in: a divisive ending, a polarizing style, or controversial material. This is outside context from IMDb and Metacritic, not part of the TVI Score, which measures cognitive value on our own published methodology.
