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

'Contempt' remains blissfully untouched by modern woke ideology, focusing instead on timeless human conflicts and artistic dilemmas. It’s strictly non-woke by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Contempt' is a product of its time, prioritizing complex character dynamics and existential themes rather than box-ticking for modern identity categories. There’s no evidence of casting or scripting driven by contemporary identity politics, just classic character conflict and introspection.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film does deconstruct marriage and traditional masculinity, it approaches the subjects with a deeply human, rather than ideological, lens. The questioning of love and art fits its era’s philosophical explorations, not a modern drive to undermine tradition for its own sake.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film presents multiple conflicting viewpoints, between commerce and art, men and women, and national cultures. There’s no sign that dissent or tradition is relentlessly caricatured. If anything, it’s a film about moral conflict, not moral uniformity.
