In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

A Royal Affair is far from a woke modern rewrite. Its focus lies on history and character, with little evidence of agenda-driven representation or ideological monoculture. Pretty safe on the non-woke spectrum.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

A Royal Affair mostly respects narrative integrity, focusing on historical characters and events without shoehorning in modern identity politics or forced representation. Character development is nuanced, and motivations are rooted in the sociology of the era.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film critiques aspects of old-world monarchy and explores the tension between enlightenment and tradition, it doesn't heavily undermine the notions of family, religion, or traditional gender roles. The questioning of cultural foundations is mostly historical, not a modern ideological push.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There is some elevation of Enlightenment ideals and critique of the status quo, but traditional perspectives are presented sincerely through certain characters. The narrative doesn't mock or villainize dissenting worldviews excessively.
