What We Think

'LOL' (2009) is your run-of-the-mill teen dramedy with standard generational squabbles and coming-of-age woes, not much in the way of forced representation or ideological grandstanding. Minimal wokeness detected, almost refreshingly so by Hollywood's standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The 2009 French film 'LOL' largely centers on teen relationships, coming-of-age issues, and family tensions without heavy-handed emphasis on identity politics. Characters are developed more through personality than through identity checkboxes, and representation feels organic for its setting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While 'LOL' pokes some fun at generational gaps and parental authority, it mostly portrays family dynamics and traditional concerns without aggressively undermining them. There's some teen rebellion, but not a wholesale subversion of values like religion or masculinity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film sticks to typical teenage angst and disagreements. While modern French youth culture is the baseline, it doesn’t outright villainize or exclude differing viewpoints, just leaves them in the background. Overall, pretty mild from an ideological standpoint.
