F for Fake1973

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

Orson Welles’ "F for Fake" is more concerned with artifice and intrigue than social sermonizing. It remains blissfully non-woke, avoiding modern ideological pitfalls and focusing on timeless questions about truth and illusion.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"F for Fake" is all about playful storytelling and trickery, not idealistic box-checking. The film is focused on art, authorship, and deception, not shoehorning in identity politics or sacrificing character depth for social agendas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There is virtually no commentary undermining religion, family, masculinity, or tradition. The movie's interests are firmly in the worlds of art forgery and mythmaking. It doesn’t feel compelled to critique or revise cultural bedrocks.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film does portray intellectual mavericks and outsiders, it’s not pushing a unified ideology. Dissent and debate are baked into the very fabric of the story. There’s no overt effort to villainize traditional viewpoints.
