Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Fallen Leaves" is a character-driven drama; in our view, it forgoes overt identity politics in favor of simple, human storytelling. The characters are developed based on personality and circumstance, not ideology, maintaining narrative integrity throughout.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film portrays working-class life and loneliness without subverting traditional values. There is little to no agenda-driven critique of family, masculinity, or religion; instead, it focuses on universal human experiences.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film leans into themes of alienation in modern society, it does not enforce a singular ideology. Differing worldviews get respectful treatment, and characters are not mere ideological mouthpieces.
