What We Think

‘Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie’ prefers ridicule and mayhem to woke sermonizing. While it certainly makes fun of traditional values and presents a uniformly fashionable worldview, it does so with equal-opportunity irreverence rather than overt ideological hectoring.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While 'Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie' has over-the-top, satirical characters, it doesn’t seem obsessed with box-ticking for diversity or forced representation. The leads are comedic veterans reprising their iconic roles, and any representation comes more from lampooning stereotypes than earnest ideology. Narrative sometimes takes a back seat to gags and celebrity cameos, but not for overt woke signaling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film regularly mocks traditional family structures, masculinity, and consumerist culture. While it’s all wrapped in satire, there’s certainly a tendency to treat traditional values as punchlines or relics, reflecting the franchise’s irreverent attitude rather than direct ideological rewriting.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Most characters reflect a uniformly cheeky, irreverent worldview, with little space for dissent or alternate perspectives. That said, the film is more invested in poking fun at the fashion world than pushing a singular modern ideology, so it stays somewhat balanced in its lampooning.
