Carol Morley writes and directs this downbeat British mystery drama about six psychologically dispossessed guests at an out-of-season south coast cliff-top hotel. As time passes, tentative connections form between the six very different characters: the wistfully ageing Wendy (Marjorie Yates), a Polish chambermaid (Anna Wendzikowska), feisty teenager Sophie (Nichola Burley) and her internet date, Phillip (Jospeh Dempsie), withdrawn Elly (Maxine Peake) and washed-up pop singer Glen (Paul Hilton). Over the course of two days, as the hotel guests gradually begin to thaw, they stumble upon a purpose that unites them all.
Andrea Arnold ('Red Road', 'Fish Tank') directs this gritty, pared-down version of Emily Brontė's classic Gothic novel. Heathcliff (Solomon Glave/James Howson), a runaway slave boy, is brought back to the Earnshaws' isolated, wind-blown moorland farm from the streets of Liverpool. Brought up together in this unforgiving landscape, Heathcliff and his adoptive sister, Cathy (Shannon Beer/Kaya Scoledario), become attached to one another on a primitive and instinctual level that transcends the bond of sibling or lover. When Cathy is reluctantly married off to insipid local landowner Edgar Linton (James Northcote), Heathcliff is cruelly abused and later thrown out by his brutish adoptive brother, Hindley (Lee Shaw). He eventually returns rich, embittered and still craving his beloved Cathy.
