What We Think

If you're looking for Hollywood’s next wokefest, this isn't it. 'Murder on the Orient Express' is far more about brilliant detective work and classic storytelling than about checking identity boxes or rewriting cultural norms.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, the film sticks mostly to classic whodunit roots, focusing on plot, personality, and skill. Casting is diverse compared to the 1934 novel, but never in a way that seems forced or disrupts the story's logic. Character traits remain central.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like justice, loyalty, and morality are prominent. Masculinity and family are respected, not subverted. There's no noticeable effort to mock religion or traditional values, if anything, the film leans into classic ideas of good versus evil.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't push any overt ideological message. Most perspectives represented are period-appropriate or drawn from the source material. Traditional and alternative worldviews are treated seriously, not caricatured or villainized.
