What We Think

“Jane Got a Gun” offers a refreshingly non-woke take compared to recent films. While it centers on a strong female character, it respects Western traditions and doesn’t sacrifice story for ideology. A rare, earnest addition to Hollywood’s output.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Jane Got a Gun” features a female lead in a Western, certainly a twist on traditional genre roles, but her character is grounded, flawed, and fits into the story’s harsh reality. The film avoids heavy-handed messaging and mostly remains focused on personal stakes and drama.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film places a woman in a position of agency, it doesn’t mock masculinity or undermine family. Jane seeks to protect her family, and traditional themes like sacrifice and loyalty remain central.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, including masculine and family values, are fully represented without being villainized. There’s little sense of ideological uniformity or demonization of traditional roles.
