What We Think

'Baby Face' is far from today’s 'woke' template. It’s a gritty pre-Code drama reflecting its time, challenging for 1933, but practically tame on the modern scale. This one keeps its ideology firmly in check.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on Lily, a woman using her sexuality to climb the social ladder, but it’s primarily a character-driven drama rather than agenda-driven. Themes reflect the era's realism, not modern 'checklist diversity.'

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While it does challenge traditional gender roles of its time, the depiction is more about harsh realities than outright subversion. Masculinity, family, and morality are not outright mocked or replaced.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are presented: Lily faces consequences, and traditional values are present in the narrative. The film allows room for debate rather than enforcing a single worldview.
