What We Think

Anna is a breath of non-woke air in modern cinema. Although featuring a female lead in a tough role, the story focuses on intrigue and character rather than modern ideological messaging. Traditional values and narrative integrity mostly remain intact.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Anna emphasizes skill and competence over identity, with the protagonist's background serving the plot rather than ideological messaging. While the main character is a woman in a traditionally male spy role, her arc feels more merit-based than forced. There is little indication of narrative sacrificed for identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film demonstrates traditional themes of espionage and violence without heavily undermining masculinity or family. Anna’s character subverts gender roles somewhat, but not to an exaggerated or preachy degree. Traditional cultural elements are present, and there’s no obvious revisionism or mocking of foundational values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews exist within the film, and the 'bad guys' aren’t simplified to traditional caricatures. There’s complexity to the villains and protagonists alike, and the spy world is portrayed as morally ambiguous rather than as a woke morality play.
