Our VerdictNot Woke

Stockholm2019

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

A rare, refreshing break from Hollywood’s current trend, narrative and characters take priority over message. “Stockholm” is much more interested in human folly than in woke lecturing. Non-woke viewers can relax.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Stockholm" sticks to its quirky, character-focused bank heist narrative, drawing inspiration from real historical events, rather than shoehorning in overtly modern identity politics or checking boxes for representation. The characters’ actions and arcs are rooted in the absurdity of the true story, avoiding modern ideological tropes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t aggressively undermine traditional values or portray religion, family, or masculinity as inherently flawed. Its satire is directed at the absurdities of the situation rather than dulling traditional cultural themes. Any critique is indirect and contextually appropriate.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no heavy-handed agenda or ridicule of dissenting worldviews here. The story centers around flawed but compelling people, not thinly veiled ideological mouthpieces. The film is more interested in human eccentricity than pushing a uniform worldview.
