Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film 'Philanthropy' is much more concerned with biting social satire and character-driven storytelling than pushing any sort of modern ideological agenda. Character traits revolve around class, ambition, and survival rather than identity politics, and casting appears based on fit and realism for its Romanian setting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, religion, and family structures are depicted as part of daily life, albeit through a critical social lens. The film critiques societal ills but does not single out or undermine masculinity, faith, or cultural heritage for contemporary ideological points.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on social class disparity, but offers a variety of perspectives without uniformly demonizing any group or pushing a preset worldview. There’s no obvious shaming of dissenting views or heavy-handed promotion of modern ideological narratives.
