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 Collectionneuse is about as non-woke as it gets for postwar French cinema, no forced diversity, no modern ideological monologue, just some dreamy existential loafers and their summer entanglements.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The narrative is driven by character dynamics, not modern identity politics. Casting and characterization focus on authenticity, not surface diversity. There’s no sense the film sacrifices its story for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film critiques bourgeois values and social mores, it does so in a way typical for 1960s European cinema, with emphasis on existential questioning rather than explicit attacks on religion, family, or masculinity. Nothing 'woke' here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Characters represent a range of intentions and flaws, generally without heavy-handed messaging. The film is open to interpretation and avoids the moral all-in consensus typical of modern ideological films.
