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

La Chinoise is an artifact of its radical era, deeply immersed in leftist ideology and cultural criticism. It doesn’t push modern identity politics, but its revolutionary purity tests and contempt for tradition would probably make it the toast of today’s campus activists.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

La Chinoise's narrative is heavily driven by ideological discourse and the identity of the characters as student revolutionaries. While this reflects the film's context, it does sacrifice nuanced characterization for long-winded political debate, making it less about individual journeys and more about embodying radical views.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Family, religion, and established norms are shown as outdated or obstructive, with main characters openly dismissing or satirizing them. It’s a clear product of its 1960s radical milieu.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?
