Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Monsieur Hulot's Holiday is a classic comedy that prioritizes gentle satire and observation over pushing any overt ideology. Characters are portrayed according to their quirks and personalities, not defined by modern identity categories. There's simply no evidence of narrative being sacrificed for ideology here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film presents traditional European holiday life without subverting or mocking religion, family, masculinity, or cultural norms. Instead, it gently pokes fun at universal human foibles, staying far from the cultural revisionism or subversive gender messaging common in more recent films.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no ideological push whatsoever, no mocking of alternative viewpoints, nor an agenda to preach about gender, race, or identity. It's an apolitical social comedy reflecting its time period, unconcerned with modern ideological debates.
