When is Wuthering Heights out? Here's the UK release date for Emerald Fennell’s divisive Bronte adaptation

Starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, the film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel has proved divisive among critics despite its 72% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

In his 3-star review for The Scotsman, critic Alistair Harkness describes the film as having “all the eroticism of a 1980s Flake advert”. Elsewhere, there have been reviews ranging from 1-star to 5-stars, with director Emerald Fennell’s modern take on the 18th-century gothic tale - complete with a soundtrack from Charli XCX - very much splitting audience opinions.

If you would like to make up your own mind on the film, here is when Wuthering Heights will be released in UK cinemas.
