What We Think

Nymphomaniac: Vol. I isn’t woke in the modern sense, it’s more of an art-house provocation than an identity politics parade. It does challenge traditional cultural norms, though, so it lands with a mild-to-moderate woke reading, but isn’t at the level of the typical Hollywood message movie.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's focus is less on identity politics and more on explicit exploration of sexuality and the protagonist's psychological states. There's no clear evidence that race, gender, or sexuality are prioritized over actual character development or story coherence. Narrative choices may be provocative, but not overtly ideological.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The movie certainly pushes boundaries regarding sexuality, religion, and traditional morality. While it doesn't mock family or religion outright, it does present a nihilistic view of moral norms and traditional values, which some non-woke viewers might interpret as undermining cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There is a strong focus on challenging traditional morality, but alternative viewpoints are at least voiced, and the film is more concerned with existential exploration than promoting a uniform ideological message. Characters debate and question, so there isn't a total ideological monoculture.
