What We Think

"Juliet of the Spirits" is far from woke by today's standards. While it’s a product of its time and questions some traditional values, its approach is more psychological and artistic, not agenda-driven or ideologically uniform. Modern-day wokeness is simply not present.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Juliet of the Spirits" focuses on personal and psychological themes rather than shoehorning in modern identity politics. The characters' traits and roles feel organic and rooted in the era's European art cinema, not forced diversity or box-checking. Narrative decisions seem based on character and emotional logic, not ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film certainly questions societal norms and explores female empowerment, it does so in a way that reflects 1960s existentialism rather than the progressive dogma we see today. Family, religion, and tradition are challenged, but more for personal awakening than as blanket condemnation.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are explored through the eccentric side characters and mystical elements. Though traditional norms are questioned, the film isn’t a soapbox for one side; instead, it explores inner conflict in a stylized, surreal manner rather than preachy, modern uniformity.
