What We Think

'Ginger & Rosa' is not aggressively woke by today’s standards, but it flirts with the familiar territory: skeptical of tradition, a bit heavy on the parental critique, and its worldview lopsided. Still, it doesn't hit the highest levels of wokeness we’ve come to expect from recent cinema.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While 'Ginger & Rosa' places a strong focus on the coming-of-age story of two young women amid the 1960s, it doesn’t aggressively prioritize identity factors over authentic character development. Characters feel reasonably well-rounded and their arcs are driven by personal and historical conflict rather than overt ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The film does touch on themes such as questioning authority, religion, and traditional family, painting them with a somewhat critical brush. Masculinity, particularly in adult male characters, is shown in a negative light at times, but the core isn’t heavy-handed about subverting gender or culture.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Dissenting views, especially more traditional perspectives, are often portrayed with a hint of caricature or moral failing. While not as extreme as modern examples, alternative worldviews aren’t deeply explored or given equal merit.
