What We Think

“Love in the Time of Cholera” is about as non-woke as it gets for a modern adaptation. It prioritizes story and emotion over activism, sticking to its literary roots. No whiffs of forced messaging here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely respects its 19th-century Colombian setting, focusing on traditional character-driven romance and period accuracy. It doesn't spotlight modern identity narratives or force representation in a way that distracts from the story's core. Characters’ backgrounds and traits arise from the plot, not ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family, romantic love, religion, and local culture are depicted without being undermined or reinterpreted through a modern ideological lens. At worst, some melodramatic leanings are typical for the genre, not due to any agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little evidence of ideological monoculture. While alternative viewpoints aren’t front and center, the story’s focus remains on universal themes, love, fidelity, loss, not on politics or identity.
