Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Dying of the Light” maintains its narrative integrity, focusing on the personal struggle of a CIA agent rather than shoehorning in identity politics or forced representation. Characters are generally fleshed out based on their roles and motivations instead of modern ideological checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little in the way of undermining traditional values; masculinity, loyalty, and duty are core themes. The film handles its material conventionally and doesn’t take potshots at religion, family, or traditional masculinity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film isn’t preoccupied with delivering a single ideological message. Perspectives occasionally clash, especially regarding justice and bureaucracy, allowing for some balance and nuance rather than painting non-woke views as evil.
