Our take
This fresh and contentious adaptation from Andrea Arnold (American Honey) sheds the classic Brontë novel of its Gothic and Romantic trimmings to get at the raw passions simmering underneath. One thing’s for sure: watching this film is as brutally exhilarating as a storm on the Yorkshire Moors!
