What We Think

While Jesus of Montreal asks tough questions about tradition and faith, it largely avoids the most egregious hallmarks of modern wokeness. It’s more of a critique than a pulpit, and it doesn’t beat the audience over the head with ideology.

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Jesus of Montreal focuses on character over identity politics, centers its narrative on a group of actors, and avoids modern forced representation. The film is more concerned with existential and spiritual questions than hitting diversity quotas or ideological checkboxes, keeping narrative mostly intact.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Some viewers may feel the film critiques organized religion and questions traditional Christian narratives, presenting modern spiritual dilemmas at the expense of clear reverence for religious tradition. Still, it doesn't outright mock faith or family, instead offering a nuanced conversation.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film does present some critique of mainstream institutions, but avoids caricaturing dissenting perspectives. There are shades of ideological conflict, and multiple worldviews are depicted, though the film trends toward secular reinterpretation.
