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

Personal Shopper pretty much ignores woke trends and keeps its focus on storytelling and character. If you want a film that dodges the typical Hollywood ideological pitfalls, this one is a safe bet.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Personal Shopper is focused on an individual's psychological journey rather than checking any diversity or identity boxes. Character traits serve the narrative, and there’s little emphasis on ideological messaging. For a modern film, this is a breath of non-woke air.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film neither mocks nor subverts tradition, family, or religion in any overt or preachy way. Themes around spirituality are handled ambiguously, treating them as personal rather than taking aims at broader cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s very little overt ideological messaging or forced consensus here. Alternative worldviews aren’t villainized or caricatured; the story is primarily existential and not political or agenda-driven.
