What We Think

'Allied' sticks to classic wartime drama territory, steering clear of modern woke tropes in both character depiction and worldview. For those tired of identity-first storytelling, this one feels refreshingly non-woke by today's standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'Allied' remains dedicated to character-driven storytelling without heavy-handed identity politics. The casting is driven by story relevance, and characters are developed through genuine challenges and personal conflicts, not protected by plot armor due to demographic factors.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely respects the cultural and historical context of WWII, including realistic gender roles and portrayals of family and patriotism. It avoids overt attempts to undermine religion, masculinity, or tradition, instead focusing on espionage and loyalty.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film does not aggressively champion non-woke or traditional views, it definitely avoids lampooning or villainizing alternatives. The story offers shades of moral complexity and internal conflict, steering clear of preachiness or ideological homogeneity.
