What We Think

A relic from the pre-woke era, Other People’s Money is generally free of modern ideological baggage. It delivers an unapologetic, character-driven story rooted in traditional conflicts without forced representation or virtue signaling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Other People’s Money goes old-school, focusing on business ethics and greed, not forced identity politics. Characters are developed for their actions and ambitions rather than identity markers, and there’s little sense that representation outweighs realism. The story keeps its priorities straight, at least by today’s standards.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t take aim at traditional values, family, or masculinity. In fact, it presents a strong but flawed male lead and notably highlights generational attitudes towards business. It’s refreshingly uninterested in subverting classic cultural foundations or rewriting history for modern tastes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Debate between old-guard corporate values and 1980s-style greed drives the plot. Traditional perspectives get real screen time, no one’s cartoonishly evil for holding non-woke views. Pluralism is alive and well here, offering actual contrast and discussion without caricature.
