Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on a middle-aged Irish farmer's gritty, personal quest for vengeance. Characters are developed based on personality, background, and circumstance, with little evidence of shoehorned identity politics or prioritization of diversity quotas over key story needs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family loyalty, religion, and masculinity are central to the plot. The protagonist’s journey reinforces these foundations rather than undermining or mocking them. Cultural context is respected and feels authentic rather than updated for modern ideological tastes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little evidence of ideological uniformity or overt villainization of traditional viewpoints. Characters present a range of motivations and worldviews shaped by their environment. The narrative is refreshingly non-didactic, letting actions speak for themselves.
