What We Think

Molly's Game is far from a woke-heavy production. It focuses on story and character rather than modern identity politics, offering an entertaining and mostly non-woke experience.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Molly's Game tells the story of a real-life figure with depth and nuance, focusing on her skill and ambition rather than reducing her to an identity symbol. The film emphasizes merit and complex character development over box-checking diversity for its own sake.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While Molly breaks from some traditional gender roles as a female lead in a high-stakes setting, the film doesn't really mock or undermine masculinity, family, or moral values, it's more concerned with legal and personal drama than scolding tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There is little overt ideological lecturing. The film doesn't villainize traditional perspectives, and there is nuance in how characters are presented, with both strengths and flaws. It does not feel like a sermon on modern attitudes.
