What We Think

'Another Country' weaves identity themes into its narrative but avoids the loud, checkbox-style wokeness of modern fare. It’s critical of tradition but in a way that feels organic to the story’s setting and era, landing it squarely in mildly woke territory.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While 'Another Country' explores themes of homosexuality and class within a British public school setting, it largely prioritizes character-driven storytelling over heavy-handed ideology. Identity factors are central, but they're tied to realistic personal struggle rather than shoehorned in for checkbox diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film critiques traditional British institutions and social norms, portraying them as repressive and hypocritical, especially regarding sexuality and class. This could be seen as undermining cultural traditions, though it's grounded in historical context rather than modern activist revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Most main characters share a critical, even resentful, view of their society’s values, there is little sincere defense of traditional perspectives. However, the film stops short of outright caricature or villainization of dissenting views.
