In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Businessman keeps its focus on ambition and gritty storytelling, not ideology. There’s minimal wokeness here, no forced diversity, no cultural revisionism, just unapologetic storytelling and traditional movie tropes. A refreshing change compared to today’s typical cinematic fare.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Businessman is all about its anti-hero and his ruthless rise to power, with little concern for identity politics. The story focuses on ambition, corruption, and the darker side of capitalism, rather than using diversity as a narrative crutch.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values around masculinity, family, and societal ambition are not mocked or subverted. Instead, the film embraces unapologetic drive and confidence, presenting a world where traditional roles and aspirations are central.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is primarily interested in individual ambition and power. Alternative worldviews aren't overtly villainized or caricatured; instead, the social and political environment is depicted in a gritty, rather than preachy, manner.
