What We Think

‘My Old Lady’ is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards. It sticks to a classic, human story and avoids the usual ideological impositions. For those weary of Hollywood’s current trends, this film is a breath of fresh, Parisian air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on complex, flawed characters with personal struggles rather than identity politics. There is no evidence of forced representation or emphasis on race, gender, or sexuality over storytelling or realism. The narrative is character-driven and not bent toward ideological boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religion, family, and traditional values are present in a nuanced way. The story doesn’t undermine masculinity, nor does it depict family or tradition as inherently problematic. There’s no blatant subversion of gender roles or rewriting of historical/cultural context to fit modern trends.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are treated with empathy rather than caricature, and the film is largely apolitical. No monolithic ideology or obvious modern moral posturing is on display. Dialogue remains open and character-driven, allowing for relatable conflicts.
