he liked Fiennes for Goeth because of his "dark sexuality." Critical response The film received mostly negative reviews from film critics. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 25% based on 12 reviews, with an average rating of 4.20 out of 10. The Independent wrote favorably of the film, and notes the fidelity of the movie to the dark sensuality and cruel side of Emily Bronte's character Heathcliff: "Ralph Fiennes makes a demonic Heathcliff, his startlingly blue [sic] eyes the only concession to a matinee audience. This performance reminds us that early reviewers of the book were not wrong, when they wondered at the morbidity of its romanticism."
