In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

"Morocco" is about as non-woke as it gets, a product of its time, telling its story without today’s ideological overlays. Any nod to independence or role-bending fits naturally and doesn’t pander. A straightforward classic, virtually untouched by modern wokeness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Morocco" keeps its focus on narrative and character, not modern identity politics. The casting and character development appear rooted in storytelling, not present-day quotas or boxes to check. It’s a classic romantic drama with no forced representation distracting from personal arcs or realism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles are front and center. While Marlene Dietrich’s character shows some independence (like wearing a tuxedo), the film overall respects prevailing cultural and moral expectations of its era. There’s no apparent attempt to rewrite history or subvert foundational norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No detectable ideological monoculture here, it simply reflects the attitudes of its day. While that means a lack of diversity of viewpoints by modern standards, there’s nothing forced, mocked, or villainized about traditional perspectives in the film’s context.
