What We Think

'New Order' is far from a typical 'woke' film. While it’s deeply cynical about class and societal order, it doesn’t indulge the usual ideological dogmas or preachiness. It’s bleak, but not in the standard Hollywood sense.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'New Order' focuses on storytelling driven by societal collapse and class struggle rather than needless identity box-checking. Characters act according to the brutal logic of the world, not simply to fit an ideological mold. There's minimal evidence of narrative compromise for identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film does critique social elites and institutions, but it doesn't go out of its way to undermine family, masculinity, or religion just for ideological flair. Its bleak take is more about society unraveling than targeted cultural subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

'New Order' doesn't seem obsessed with pushing a single world view. Instead, it paints most factions, privileged and revolutionary alike, in a brutal, unsparing light. No one comes out looking particularly virtuous, dodging the usual sanctimonious finger-pointing.
