What We Think

"Queen Margot" is a testament to pre-woke filmmaking, prioritizing historical drama over political messaging. Apart from natural historical critique, there’s little evidence of today’s ideological overreach. An easy recommendation for non-woke audiences.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Queen Margot" puts story and historical intrigue front and center. Characters are developed based on their motives, ambition, and tragic flaws, rather than modern checklists of identity traits. There is no sign of forced representation or hyper-competence for diverse characters.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film is critical of religion and monarchy, it does so in the context of its bloody, tumultuous historical setting, not as a commentary aimed at modern values. Masculinity, religion, and tradition are depicted with nuance, not outright derision.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film explores complex perspectives, including religious fanaticism, power struggles, and personal loyalties. Traditional and alternative worldviews both have a place, and none are simplistic caricatures. No hint of the modern 'monoculture' here.
