One of 2026’s most talked-about movies is now available to stream at home

'A modern remix of a classic, full of flair and feeling.'

Accessible through the service NOW, this latest adaptation of Emily Brontë’s beloved 1847 gothic tragedy novel of the same name comes from writer-director Emerald Fennell (Saltburn).

Though a hit at the box office, the new Wuthering Heights adaptation earned mixed reviews from critics and fans of the novel, with many taking issue with its casting and Fennell's changes to the source material.

We here at JOE, however, are fans of the movie, arguing at the time of its release that Fennell made the film for "a modern, maybe younger audience, who perhaps have never engaged with Wuthering Heights at all".

We added: "Yes, the bare bones of the story have been retained, with its gothic manor and moor settings gorgeously recreated. Yet, Fennell packs her version of the tale full of deliberately risqué sequences and steamy, suggestive imagery (à la Saltburn), the type of which Brontë could have never put in her book, even had she so desired. On top of this, she streamlines the narrative, merging characters together and cutting entire plotlines.

JOE's review was also full of praise for Linus Sandgren's colourful, vibrant cinematography and Charli XCX's soundtrack, which continually finds inventive ways of making modern electro music feel classic.

We also complimented Irish actress Alison Oliver's scene-stealing supporting turn as Isabella, a friend of Catherine who becomes obsessed with Heathcliffe. The actress navigates a tricky role with bravery, humour and aplomb.

Concluding our review, we said: "Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights is a modern remix of a classic, full of flair and feeling. Plus, if it inspires some of its audience to pick up the Brontë novel, that’s even better."

Wuthering Heights is currently streaming on the service NOW in Ireland and the UK.
