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

Mr. Klein is about as non-woke as it gets by today's standards, focusing on mature themes and careful storytelling without modern ideological baggage. A refreshing throwback, really.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Mr. Klein is a tightly constructed psychological thriller focused on identity and moral ambiguity, with little evidence that box-ticking for modern concepts of representation drove narrative decisions. Characters are developed for suspense, not ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is set in 1940s occupied France and deals honestly with the era's grim realities. It doesn't go out of its way to undermine traditional values or rewrite history for contemporary sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Mr. Klein avoids didactic messaging and instead invites open interpretation. There's no collective groupthink; characters have complex motives and worldviews. No hammering of modern ideological talking points.
