A different way of telling a story

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

first of id like to say i never knew about this film and Sarah smart if it wasn't for IMDb so thanks to these people first.based on Wuthering Heights this modern tale tells a story that changes perception at least for love-side if you like that type of stories then this is a must see for you.the story:2 lovers when they were kids grows and faces a tough challenge the relationship gives them,hey i don't want to give the whole thing here the basic plot line is written on IMDb what more you have to watch it yourself.the cast:every actor i saw here did good job but one lady i got introduced to is Sarah smart what a lovely lady she acting superbly in romantic moods and specially when she picks up a Axe and destroys down a car got me thinking this woman got some high range of acting and why is she not famous more.this is a TV movie more then a series it got 3 episodes its a film i was surprised that this was aired in UK and by BBC how come i never saw this is 2002 i was a school going kid back then,there is some sexual intimate scenes here but mainly this is a performance and emotion based project more then plot,its got turn of points for editing section and score however great locations do appear.overall do not miss Sparkhouse 2002 do watch it for Sarah smart and a good story.my rating is 5/10 recommended.

Raw, emotional, superbly written and acted love story. I thought that the two leads really shone, particularly Joe McFadden. He was totally believable as a decent man who falls apart and whose world is in constant emotional turmoil. The ending was bleak and harsh, but as it's a story inspired by Wuthering Heights, it was never going to end happily. After seeing this, I couldn't get it off my mind for days - made a maximum impact.

Feel a bit guilty about not watching this properly - was tired after a hard day of landscape gardening and got some beers in, sat down next to the box, put it on indiscriminately and thought "this'll do" and then watched it like a vegetable. Didn't know anything about the show and hadn't seen the write ups, but watched both the episodes shown together thinking it was very realistically put together (the fight sequences in 'real time' for instance, and the was he/wasn't he really there images in the ruined old house. Yes, love CAN send you nuts!) Genuine tension and emotion, went to bed and woke up thinking I'd dreamt it! Thought it was a dream about Wuthering Heights, read the book 20 years ago. Haven't stopped thinking about it now for about 3 days so in my opinion at least it's good if it leaves a thoughtful/lasting impression on you. Which is a lot more than can be said about some of the complete rubbish that comes out of Hollywood! Well done, gave it 9/10.

Never really watched other wainright series "at home with the braithwaights." but this is magnificant. Two main stars are brilliant. In this modern version of wuthering heights the roles of cathy and heathcliff are swapped. The son of a doctor and the abused daughter of a local alcoholic farmer have a passionate obsessive love affair. Thwarted by his snobbish parents and some very personal home truths, the two are forced apart. He leaves to go to university. The events then take on both the Brontee and also more modern slants. The direction is fast paced and uses the moors in most scenes and is a piece of absolutely fantastic very grabbing television. Is just unmissable tv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
