What We Think

Crimea avoids modern woke trappings, focusing on national loyalty and traditional bonds, but is ideologically closed off in its own direction. There’s no progressive messaging here, just a firm commitment to one worldview.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film predominantly focuses on traditional storytelling, centering on the personal impact of geopolitical events rather than enforcing modern identity themes or forced diversity. Characters seem grounded in the realities of their background and context, rather than being shaped by ideological priorities.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Crimea emphasizes patriotism, traditional family ties, and loyalty. It highlights cultural continuity and national identity, avoiding subversion of religion, family or traditional masculinity. The film seems to reinforce, rather than undermine, cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

While the film avoids modern progressive messaging, it presents a very narrow viewpoint: the Russian state’s perspective on the Crimean conflict. Alternative perspectives, especially Ukrainian ones, are not given sincere or nuanced representation.
