In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

This is about as non-woke as it gets. “Katyn” is a respectful, historical drama, no forced diversity, no mocking of traditional values. The story and its themes come first, not modern ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Katyn” is rooted in a historical tragedy, and storytelling clearly comes first. There is no forced identity politics or box-ticking; characters feel authentic to their historical roles. The film’s emotional power comes from the story, not from any surface-level nod to modern representation quotas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film treats religion, family, and tradition with reverence and frames them as sources of strength during catastrophe. If anything, it doubles down on the importance of nation, faith, and heritage, definitely no subversion or undermining here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While “Katyn” is clear-eyed in mourning and blaming the totalitarian state, it doesn’t reduce traditional perspectives to caricature. The focus is on suffering under communism; there’s nothing resembling the scorn for traditional morality or family seen in many modern films.
