What We Think

Grand Hotel is essentially the furthest thing from 'woke' cinema. It sticks to classic storytelling, skillful acting, and doesn't dabble in modern ideological themes. A solid non-woke period piece.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no overt ideological slant or mocking of traditional worldviews. The film simply doesn't engage in modern-day identity debates or villainize any conventional perspective.
