What We Think

"Argylle" delivers a slick, genre-savvy romp that can’t quite resist ticking the standard modern Hollywood boxes for diversity and subversion. While not the wokest ride on offer, it’s preoccupied enough with familiar tropes to feel very much of its time.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

In our interpretation, "Argylle" places significant emphasis on identity-driven casting, with diverse representation sometimes feeling prioritized over organic character development. While there’s a wink to spy genre conventions, some might find that certain roles, particularly the leads, are crafted with a modern ideological checklist in mind, occasionally straining narrative immersion.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t aggressively undermine traditional values, but it does lean into postmodern takes on masculinity, often in a playful or tongue-in-cheek fashion. Family and morality are not major themes, but traditional archetypes are frequently subverted or parodied, reflecting Hollywood’s current sensibilities without overt hostility.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative or more traditional perspectives exist mainly as comedic elements or are lightly satirized. Serious representation of non-woke viewpoints is scarce, and most characters share modern, progressive attitudes. The ideological playing field isn’t egregiously one-sided, but it’s clear what worldview sets the tone.
