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

St. Vincent mostly sidesteps woke pitfalls, focusing instead on character depth and genuine human struggle. The film gives us flawed people, real consequences, and even a touch of reverence for traditional values. In today’s climate, it’s practically a non-woke throwback.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on flawed, human characters and offers organic diversity. There’s no heavy-handed push for ideology over story, with Bill Murray’s cranky, anti-hero at the center. Narrative choices are grounded in personality and circumstance, not identity politics or forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Family, religion, and traditional values all play a role. The film portrays a single mother and a Catholic school, but with mostly respectful depiction rather than mockery or revisionism. Masculinity and flawed mentorship are depicted with nuance rather than scorn.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While progressive themes peek through (tolerance, open-mindedness), there is room for conflicting worldviews among characters. Alternative perspectives aren’t simply demonized; there’s real debate and transformation shown between old-school and new-school attitudes.
