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

My Week with Marilyn keeps its focus on character drama and historical events, almost entirely sidestepping modern “woke” agendas. It avoids forced representation, upholds its period authenticity, and refrains from ideologically rewriting history. Very low on the woke scale.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on personal relationships and character development, primarily Marilyn Monroe and Colin Clark, without prioritizing diversity or modern identity markers over narrative cohesion. Casting aligns with historical figures, not forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, gender roles, and cultural context are depicted as products of their era. There’s no apparent attempt to revise history or undermine traditional morality, instead presenting 1950s attitudes as they were, for better or worse.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little ideological messaging. While some may note standard Hollywood sensibilities, the film does not mock or villainize dissenting worldviews, most characters act within their time's cultural norms, and conflicting perspectives are shown without caricature.
