One of the year's most controversial films, with a 58% critic's score on Rotten Tomatoes, is streaming on HBO Max from this weekend

Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff and Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw in Wuthering Heights.

It's a film that has sharply divided opinions, with some, like David Sims in The Atlantic, praising it as a "rip-snortingly carnal good time", while others – like Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian – have decried it as an "emotionally hollow, bodice-ripping misfire."

We're talking, of course, about Emerald Fennell's take on "Wuthering Heights" (yes, the quotation marks are intentional on the director's part), which makes its streaming debut this week on HBO Max.
