What We Think

Mouchette remains a deeply non-woke film, rooted in tragic realism rather than ideology. It emphasizes traditional storytelling, avoids identity politics, and sidesteps modern culture wars. Refreshingly, there’s no woke agenda in sight.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Mouchette is a stark, unvarnished character study that doesn't appear to prioritize ideology over storytelling. There’s no evidence of forced representation or focus on identity traits at the expense of the narrative. Its power lies in honest realism, however bleak.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film does address harsh aspects of rural life and suffering, but it doesn't mock or trivialize religion, family, or tradition. If anything, it uses these frameworks to emphasize the protagonist’s isolation. Any subversion is more existential than ideological.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional perspectives aren’t villainized; instead, the film presents a bleak reality without overt moralizing. The story maintains a plurality of motives and viewpoints, allowing for a wide range of interpretation without sermonizing.
