Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Law of Tehran is laser-focused on realistic crime drama, prioritizing gritty storytelling and complex character arcs over any visible identity-driven casting or political messaging. There’s little forced representation or out-of-place focus on characters’ demographics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, family, morality, and the struggles of everyday people, are central to the narrative. Masculinity is portrayed as flawed but essential, and the film doesn’t go out of its way to undermine cultural or religious norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film critiques aspects of society, it doesn’t demonize traditional perspectives or create cartoonish villains for ideological reasons. The world felt grounded, with room for different worldviews within the limitations of its setting.
