What We Think

Ordet is as non-woke as it gets, a rare glimpse of serious, intricate storytelling rooted in traditional faith and family. If only Hollywood would take notes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Ordet points to a time when character depth and storytelling came first. The film centers on faith, family, and the tension between worldly doubt and transcendent belief, no sign of forced representation or identity politics here. Everyone’s arcs are earned and human, not boxes to tick for modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This film is basically a love letter to traditional religion, family bonds, and moral struggle. Far from subverting cultural foundations, it takes them seriously and explores their nuances with respect and complexity. Can't get more non-woke than this.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Dissent is thoughtfully depicted through religious debate and personal struggle, not cartoonish villains or strawmen. Multiple perspectives coexist, and characters have room for doubt and growth. The film isn’t pushing a modern ideological monoculture in any way.
