🚨 WOKE TRAP WARNING

This film draws you in for a significant portion of its runtime with traditional or neutral content before springing its woke agenda. Know before you go!

Wuthering Heights (2026) qualifies as a WOKE TRAP. The film adapts a canonical work that families and schools will approach with confidence. The marketing presents it as a gothic romance. The film delivers Emerald Fennell's transgressive sexuality agenda overlaid on Bronte's text. Fennell adds explicit sexual content not in the novel. These additions occupy 40-55% of the film's thematic space and are injected rather than discovered. The trap works: the Bronte name sells the ticket. Fennell's ideology fills the seat. High confidence: WOKE TRAP.
