What We Think

With its nuanced take on fame and aging and its focus on personal rather than political drama, Clouds of Sils Maria is remarkably non-woke for modern cinema. It’s more interested in real people than preaching ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This film is more concerned with exploring character depth and the artistic process than shoehorning in identity politics. Diversity isn't forced, and characters are defined by their complexities rather than box-ticking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional dynamics like aging, fame, and mentorship are central, but there’s no overt attack on classic values, family, masculinity, or religion. Gender roles appear natural and rooted in story context.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Conflicting perspectives across generations and personalities are well-represented. It doesn’t reduce characters to mere ideological mouthpieces or treat dissenting views as villainous caricatures.
