What We Think

House of Gucci is refreshingly non-woke, sticking to classic drama and intrigue without turning into a cultural sermon. It’s messy, glamorous, and old-school entertaining, minus the heavy-handed ideology seen in so many recent films.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

House of Gucci keeps its focus squarely on character motivations and family intrigue, rather than shoehorning in modern sensibilities or identity-focused story arcs. Casting choices seem more about talent and appearance than box-checking. No one seems immune to consequence, which keeps the drama real.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film leans into traditional themes of family, ambition, and legacy, rather than undermining them. Masculine and feminine roles are portrayed as flawed but human, not as moral lectures on gender or tradition. There’s little in the way of revisionist takes on Italian culture or history.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

If there’s any ideological push, it’s the universal story of greed and tragedy, hardly a woke rallying cry. Characters are complex, not reduced to caricatures for ideological convenience, and there’s genuine conflict and pluralism in their worldviews.
