What We Think

"Knight of Cups" is more interested in spiritual and personal exploration than in shoehorning modern ideological trends. Definitely not one for the woke charts, maybe too dreamy and self-serious to bother with progressive box-ticking.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Knight of Cups" is largely an introspective, experimental drama focused on personal crisis and spiritual searching rather than pushing identity politics or forcing modern representation. The casting and character arcs are chosen for thematic resonance, not ideological messaging. No sign of narrative being sacrificed for forced diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film grapples with faith, existential angst, and fallen family ties, but does so in a way that reflects classic spiritual themes rather than undermining traditional values. Masculinity, family, and morality play central roles without mockery or revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film is centered on a single protagonist’s worldview, it doesn’t use him to mock alternative perspectives. There’s little overt ideology present, just personal, existential wanderings. There’s no obvious villainization of tradition or dissent.
