In recent years, LGBTQ+ stories have become more welcome in the mainstream, with some major successes being Love, Simon, Call Me By Your Name, and Moonlight.

There’s an old saying in the marketing world, “There’s no such thing as bad publicity." And that’s just as true with movies as it is in advertising.

It’s quite a varied range, from documentaries tackling difficult subjects to genuinely good films that just happen to also be divisive, and even some movies that are controversial because they’re, well, terrible. Below, we've put together a handpicked selection of the most controversial movies on Netflix right now, but be warned, some of it is pretty harrowing stuff.
