What We Think

Hannah and Her Sisters isn’t winning any awards for being woke, it’s a slice of genuine, old-school filmmaking focused on story, not ideology. This is a non-woke classic by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Hannah and Her Sisters focuses on complex, well-rounded characters and organic drama. Identity factors such as race, gender, or sexuality are not pushed to the forefront or used to overshadow character-driven storytelling. The plot stays true to realistic family dynamics and human flaws, without falling into contemporary representation tropes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family, relationships, spirituality, and even masculine vulnerability are portrayed sincerely, if a bit neurotically. There’s no clear agenda to undermine religion, masculinity, or cultural traditions; rather, these elements are treated as points of exploration and nuance.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film reflects the milieu of urban, intellectual New Yorkers in the 1980s, it does offer a range of perspectives, including religious searching, existential angst, and classic family struggles. No one ideology is unchallenged, and dissent exists naturally within characters’ arcs.
